SaveTheHills(STH) is a group of concerned citizens who are raising awareness about landslides in Darjeeling-Sikkim Himalaya.
Many landslides are the direct or indirect result of human interference and preventable if sufficient care is taken.
As such, unless we begin a comprehensive and sustained program towards landslide management, prevention and mitigation, the consequences of ignoring years of human callousness will, in the future be devastating.

Images from Kalimpong : 6.9 Richter Earthquake on 18Sep2011
That is sad! Was there any pattern in building damage within Kalimpong? For example, were buildings on the hill top damaged more that ones further than the slope. Were there pockets of extensive damage? These questions would be important towards determining how Kalimpong town and its surrounding areas respond to earthquakes. This might be a good time to generate this information for use later.
