Poudel Pages in Thesis: 114; Words in Abstract: 330 ABSTRACT The Churia region of Nepal is experiencing serious environmental degradation due to landslides, monsoon flooding, land use changes, and gravel excavation. The objectives of this study were to quantify the temporal change of landslides as related to changes in land use/deforestation/urbanization, to quantify the temporal change and extent of river inundation in the Terai, to quantify the extent to which stone quarrying exacerbates the degradation process, and to generate a landslide hazard risk map. Gravel extraction and precipitation data, along with field work and geospatial methods, were used to map degradation by focusing on the centrally located districts of Bara, Rautahat, and Makwanpur.

No.: Kathmandu, Nepal Foreword Nepal has made significant progress in achieving good results in school enrolment by having more children in school over the past decade, in spite of the unstable situation in the country. However, there are still many challenges related to equity when the net enrolment data are disaggregated at the district and school level, which are crucial and cannot be generalized. As per Flash Monitoring Report 2014- 15, the net enrolment rate for girls is high in primary school at 93.6%, it is 59.5% in lower secondary school, 42.5% in secondary school and only 8.1% in higher secondary school, which show that fewer girls complete the full cycle of education.
  • Banko Janakari a Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal

    Banko Janakari a Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal

    Banko Janakari A Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal Forests and Biodiversity Conservation in Federal Nepal Nepal is endowed with rich biological diversity. It shares 1.1 and 3.2 percent of total faunal and floral diversity of the world respectively, while occupying only 0.1 percent of global area. Biodiversity and forest resources are integral component of rural livelihoods and economic prosperity of Nepal. Nepal’s Constitution 2015 has explicitly mentioned to maintain certain portion of the land of the country as forest land for environmental equilibrium. The essence of the Constitution has been later incorporated in Forest Policy (2015) emphasizing to maintain at least 40% of the total land as forest cover with equal importance to biodiversity. Undoubtedly, Nepal has been able to maintain the given target to date. For the conservation of Forest and Biodiversity, Nepal has formulated various policy documents and action plans which are underway. However, these documents were made under the framework of unitary system. The new constitution of Nepal has led the country towards federal system from its long unitary system. The federal system has given opportunities to share power among different levels of government. Annexes from 5 to 9 in the constitution have clearly specified three tiers of government i.e., federal, provincial, and local to exercise their individual and shared rights over the different resources including forests and biodiversity within their political boundaries. Political boundary and forests ecosystem services boundaries are not mutually inclusive. They are completely independent to each other. Ecosystem services and externalities from forests and biodiversity spreads beyond the political boundary.

    Monsoon Preparedness Assessment: 14 Earthquake Affected Priority Districts and the Terai Districts

    MONSOON PREPAREDNESS ASSESSMENT: 14 EARTHQUAKE AFFECTED PRIORITY DISTRICTS AND THE TERAI DISTRICTS FINAL REPORT NEPAL 2016 Monsoon Preparedness Assessment, Nepal 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The annual monsoon season typically occurs in Nepal during July and August, with heavy rains and winds damaging housing, roads and other infrastructure as well as bringing increased flood and landslide risk. Ahead of the 2016 monsoon, concerns were raised that destabilization in terrain conditions caused by the 2015 earthquakes could significantly increase the risk of landslides during monsoon rains, both in areas historically prone to landslides and flash floods and areas that have become susceptible following the earthquakes. Furthermore, heavy rains could trigger the movement of loose rubble accumulated by the co-seismic landslides that followed the earthquakes.1 In preparation for the 2016 monsoon, the Shelter Cluster was developing a contingency plan focusing on the 14 earthquake priority districts2, along with the 22 Terai districts3 that have in the past been affected by widespread flooding during monsoon seasons. This assessment was launched to inform this planning through a macro-level analysis secondary data to identify areas vulnerable to monsoon impacts and estimate potential caseloads; along with collection and analysis of primary data to understand expectations of assistance, level of preparation and potential coping strategies, with a specific focus on families living in emergency (tents/tarpaulin) or temporary (CGI) shelter. While addressing the assessment objectives, the study also generated findings on underlying vulnerabilities amongst populations at risk of monsoon impacts. Key findings are summarised below. Landslide hazard and flood risk mapping Using post 2015 earthquake landslide susceptibility data, the Village Development Committees (VDCs)4 across all 14 earthquake affected priority districts were classified as having low, medium or high landslide susceptibility5 (see Map 1).
