This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Wetland means the surface of the earth that is permanently or seasonally or partially covered with water. Wetlands are most productive areas for biodiversity and local livelihood support. Nepal ra- tified Ramsar convention in 1987 and started to include the wetland in Ramsar site and till now nine wetland sites are included in Ramsar site. There are still lacking systematic research and con- servation approach for these wetlands; therefore, our study attempted to assess the status of wet- lands in the Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve, Nepal; and explored threats and conservation chal- lenges. We prepared list of streams and lakes and collected detail information regarding area, district, block, elevation and cultural as well as ecological importance of lakes. We recorded total 11 lakes with total 304477 m2 areas. The Sundaha lake is largest lake of the reserve having signif- icant religious importance. We also recorded 7 streams in the reserve.

    Realities and Images of Nepal’s Maoists after the Attack on Beni1 Kiyoko Ogura 1. The background to Maoist military attacks on district head- quarters “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun” – Mao Tse-Tung’s slogan grabs the reader’s attention at the top of its website.2 As the slogan indicates, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) has been giving priority to strengthening and expanding its armed front since they started the People’s War on 13 February 1996. When they launched the People’s War by attacking some police posts in remote areas, they held only home-made guns and khukuris in their hands. Today they are equipped with more modern weapons such as AK-47s, 81-mm mortars, and LMGs (Light Machine Guns) purchased from abroad or looted from the security forces. The Maoists now are not merely strengthening their military actions, such as ambushing and raiding the security forces, but also murdering their political “enemies” and abducting civilians, using their guns to force them to participate in their political programmes. 1.1. The initial stages of the People’s War The Maoists developed their army step by step from 1996. The following paragraph outlines how they developed their army during the initial period of three years on the basis of an interview with a Central Committee member of the CPN (Maoist), who was in charge of Rolpa, Rukum, and Jajarkot districts (the Maoists’ base area since the beginning). It was given to Li Onesto, an American journalist from the Revolutionary Worker, in 1999 (Onesto 1999b).

  • Jhimruk Khola Watershed Health Report
    What is a watershed? A watershed is an area of land that contains a common set of streams and rivers that drain into a single larger body of water, such as a river (Figure 1). But watersheds include more than streams and rivers; they also consist of all the people, forests, wildlife, villages, infrastructure, terrain, climate, and agriculture within the landscape. It is important to think about a watershed in its entirety – upstream and downstream – instead of only looking at one element of the watershed. This is because water flows and connects various aspects of a watershed. What happens upstream has an impact on what happens downstream. For example, gravel mining upstream can increase sedimentation for downstream residents. Similarly, water diversions upstream for irrigation can reduce the amount of water available downstream for people and aquatic species. Figure 1: Diagram of a typical watershed The goal of this watershed health assessment is to help people living in the Jhimruk watershed make better decisions, protect and restore the watershed, reduce risks, and create sustainable economic opportunities. This watershed report uses indicators to measure different aspects of a watershed to determine if the landscape is healthy and able to provide ecosystem services to people living in that watershed. The indicators in this report were determined through a combination of local stakeholder use priorities and watershed health as defined in the literature. The health indicators in this report are grouped under larger categories of 1) nature, 2) wealth, and 3) power, each of which explores related aspects of the watershed from that particular viewpoint.
