  • Disputed Land Rights and Conservation-Led Displacement: a Double Whammy on the Poor
    [Downloaded free from http://www.conservationandsociety.org on Tuesday, July 29, 2014, IP: 129.79.203.179] || Click here to download free Android application for this journal Conservation and Society 12(1): 65-76, 2014 Article Disputed Land Rights and Conservation-led Displacement: A Double Whammy on the Poor Lai Ming Lama,# and Saumik Paulb aOsaka University, School of Human Sciences, Suita City, Osaka, Japan bUniversity of Nottingham (Malaysia Campus), School of Economics, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia #Corresponding author. E‑mail: [email protected] Abstract The practice of conservation through displacement has become commonplace in developing countries. However, resettlement programs remain at very low standards as government policies only focus on economic-based compensation which often excludes socially and economically marginalised groups. In this paper, based on a case study of the displaced indigenous people, the Rana Tharus, from the Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve in Nepal, we argue that compensation as a panacea is a myth as it does not effectively replace the loss of livelihoods. This is particularly the case when the indigenous community’s customary rights to land are not legally protected. Our ethnographic data support the contention that the history of social exclusion is rooted in the land reform and settlement policies, which deprived the Rana Tharus of proper land rights. The present land compensation scheme resulted in a ‘double whammy’ on indigenous forest dwellers. The legal land title holders on average received less than 60% of their land. Moreover, due to the poor quality of soil in the resettlement areas the average crop yield was less than half the quantity produced before displacement.

  • Annual Report 2017
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 National Trust for Nature Conservation MISSION STATEMENT “To conserve, manage and promote nature in all its diversity balancing human needs with the environment on a sustainable basis for posterity-ensuring maximum community participation with due cognizance of the linkages between economics, environment and ethics through a process in which people are both the principal actors and beneficiaries.” With over 3 decades of experience in the field of participatory conservation, right from the grassroots level to policy and core research, the National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC) continues to steer a phenomenal track record of driving the principal of Conservation for Development. NTNC, established in 1982 by a legislative act, is an autonomous and not-for-profit organization, mandated to work in the field of nature conservation in Nepal. From its very inception the Trust fully understands that local communities matter, and that they are eventually stipulated to become the flag bearers of all conservation initiatives. To ensure that the locus of sustainable conservation is bearing on each of these communities, the Trust has successfully implemented various projects from nature and biodiversity conservation, cultural heritage protection, ecotourism development, alternative energy promotion, gender empowerment, livelihood enhancement. Given its deep integration with the community, and coupled with its expertise, the Trust maintains an unmatched advantage—whether it be in matters related to wildlife research and monitoring, community engagement, anti-poaching, conservation education, needs identification, assessment and impact study, capacity building, or in matters related to good governance and local institutional empowerment. This is one of the main reasons why NTNC continues to embrace a reputation that is crucial in cohabiting the development agendas for a large number of multilateral stakeholder projects.

ShNP Management Plan identified overgrazing in core and peripheral areas as a major cause of the decline of grassland habitat and wildlife. Nearly 17,000 cattle each day, constituting 75% of those owned by buffer zone communities, used to graze freely within the core and peripheral area of the park. The frequent and unregulated sharing of grazing land not only resulted in overgrazing, but also had increased the risk of disease transmission between domestic ruminants and wild animals.

  • Cultural Perspectives of Land and Livelihoods: a Case Study of Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve in Far-Western Nepal
    [Downloaded free from http://www.conservationandsociety.org on Friday, August 17, 2012, IP: 98.222.182.206] || Click here to download free Android application for this journal Conservation and Society 9(4): 311-324, 2011 Article Cultural Perspectives of Land and Livelihoods: A Case Study of Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve in Far-western Nepal Lai Ming Lam School of Human Sciences, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan and Anthropology Department, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Recent debates on human displacement caused by conservation have increasingly questioned: fi rstly, its justifi cation in the name of biodiversity conservation; and secondly, the effectiveness of compensation in preventing impoverishment. Land compensation is widely practiced and it is a crucial part of contemporary people-centred conservation resettlement strategies. In this article, using the case of the Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve in Nepal, I argue that policy-makers’ belief that the social impacts of dislocation can be properly mitigated by economic- focused resettlement programmes alone is a myth. They have ignored the close relationships between place, social networks and livelihoods. A study of a displaced indigenous community known as Rana Tharus in far-western Nepal shows that a strong sense of nostalgia and homesickness is evident in this community. Displaced Ranas continue to idealise their old abode as ‘paradise on Earth’ while experiencing their new home as only promoting poverty, helplessness and danger. Their anger is due to the fact that they no longer have the mutual help or support from their neighbours as they once did in their old abode.
