Photo credit: Olaf Zerbock/USAID Collaboration for Watershed Conservation in Nepal March 2019 na remote corner of western Nepal’s Dang District, Pateshwori Chaudhary is Iworking to save the fish that live in the Rapti River. Pollution, destructive fishing practices, and poaching of the surrounding wildlife threaten the river’s biodiversity and cultural traditions. Chaudhary is a member of the indigenous Tharu community, for whom fishing has been an important part of life for generations. Not long ago, Chaudhary himself fished using electric current or explosive devices (a practice known as “blast fish- ing”), a highly destructive fishing practice that destroys fish habitat and kills all fish indiscriminately regardless of size. This type of fishing provided Chaudhary and other men in his community a regular source of income — until the fish started to run out. “I realized that fishing in such ways would create fatal consequences and generations after us would curse us for depriving them of experiencing the aquatic biodiversity in For more information, please visit Globalwaters.org. 1 our rivers,” he said. Protecting Aquatic Biodiversity Chaudhary’s story is common among fishing communities in western Nepal, where the Karnali, Mahakali, and Rapti rivers provide a critical habitat for freshwater spe- cies, irrigate farmland, and propel hydroelectric dams. Water is the single most im- portant natural resource underpinning Nepal’s economy and livelihoods, yet it faces increasing stress from population growth, climate change, and unregulated use. The USAID Program for Aquatic Natural Resources Improvement, known locally as Paani (meaning “water” in Nepali), is helping change how local communities manage water resources in 12 priority watersheds, which span over 8,700 square kilometers of important habitat in the Karnali, Mahakali, and Rapti river basins.

    Analysis on Causes of Deforestation and Forest Degradation of Dang District: Using DPSIR Framework

    Nep J Environ Sci (2015), 3, 27-34 ISSN 2350-8647 Research Article Analysis on causes of deforestation and forest degradation of Dang district: using DPSIR framework Krishna Dev Hengaju1* and Ugan Manandhar2 1School of Environmental Science and Management, Pokhara University (affiliated), Kathmandu, Nepal 2World Wildlife Fund, Kathmandu, Nepal Abstract Forests play a prodigious significance in many aspects. It is home to sundry species that exist on earth. Further, forest plays vital role as sinks of CO 2 and has been estimated that standing forests sequester about 20% of global CO 2 emission. However, deforestation and forest degradation (D & D) has been continued to be a major global environmental problem. The study was focused on identifying the causes of D & D of Dang district using the Drivers – Pressures – State – Impacts – Responses (DPSIR) framework. A detailed review of relevant and existing literatures about the study area was done and also field observation and survey was carried out during the study in different village development committees (VDCs) of Dang district. Data and information collected were used for preparing the DPSIR model framework making the DPSIR key words table and DPSIR map. The VDCs were identified by comparing the land use land cover map of Dang district of 2000 and 2010. The study reveals that main causes of D & D in Dang District are forest encroachment, population growth, forest fire, urbanization, infrastructure development, illegal harvesting of forest resources, etc. It is causing a serious impact on environment. In order to overcome with the situation, government, with an effort from community people, has started awareness programs and many other activities under forest management programs.
