The landscape was designed on the tiger dispersal model in the landscape. In its first phase, the identified corridors are Khata, Basanta, and Mohana-Laljhadi. It also identified critical bottlenecks in dire need of restoration so as to maintain the contiguity of the ecosystem. The bottlenecks are Dovan, Dang, and Mahadevpuri. Later, new corridors were identified and are Brahamadev, Karnali river corridor, and Barandabhar. Similarly, Kamdi area was identified for restoration. TAL represents a continuum of PAs and biological corridors. For the first time, the threats and vulnerabilities assessment of National Parks (Chitwan National Park, Banke NP, Bardia NP and Suklaphanta NP) were conducted along with the critical corridors adjoining those parks. Figure 1: Hariyo Ban Program II Working Areas METHODOLOGY ‘WWF Standards of Project and Programme Management’ comprises of 5 major steps in programme/project cycle namely, Define, Design, Implement, Adapt and Share. The Define phase contains 5 steps/sub steps as, 1. Step 1.1 is ‘Team Composition and Operation’ 2. Step 1.2 is ‘Project Scope and Vision’ 3. Step 1.3 is ‘Biodiversity Targets’ 4. Step 1.4a is ‘Situation Analysis’ and Step 1.4b is ‘Threat Rating’ Criteria for Threat Rating It is based on three criteria which are Scope, Severity and Irreversibility. 1. Scope refers to the proportion of the overall area of a project site or target occurrence likely to be affected by a threat in a given time frame (e.g. next 10 years) by a given threat. It shows how extensive is the area affected by the threat, and if the threat affects the entire project area or only a small portion. 2. Severity quantifies or categorizes the level of damage to the conservation target expected in a given time frame (e.g. next 10 years). It shows how severe is the impact of the threat on the project area or target species and if the threat destroys the target completely or cause only minimal damage. 3. Irreversibility refers to the ability to reverse the effects of a given threat. It shows if the damage from the threat be undone and restore the target. Absolute Threat Rating This step-by-step method relies on rating threats on a four-point scale (e.g. very high, high, medium, and low) for each criterion and then summing the results. Each scale is operationally defined for the criterion. Lately, rating of each threat and the summing up across the targets is automated by software ‘Mirdai’, https://miradi.org/. Miradi is a user-friendly program that allows nature conservation practitioners to design, manage, monitor, and learn from their projects to more effectively meet their conservation goals. The software helps teams to prioritize threats, develop objectives and actions, and select monitoring indicators to assess the effectiveness of their strategies among others. The threat rating is portrayed colored as shown below, Very High High Medium Low Chitwan National Park and Buffer Zone Chitwan National Park was established in 1973 and has a total area of 932 sq.km. CNP accommodates wide varieties of mag species like tiger, rhino, elephant and other prey base species. Recently, wild water buffalo has been translocated in the park and is now protected inside fence. The Park is also recognized as World Heritage Site in 1984. Figure 2: Chitwan National Park For the first time, threats and vulnerabilities of CNP and its buffer zone was conducted on March 2017. It was joined by Chief Warden of CNP, representatives of Barandabhar Protection Forest, CFUGs, BZUCs, district forest office, and partner organizations (CARE, FECOFUN and NTNC). The overall threat was rated ‘High’ for Chitwan National Park. In the list of identified direct threats, invasive plant species is rated as ‘High’ threat. Similarly, drying of water sources, river pollution, large infrastructures, wildlife disease and isolated and/or skewed species population are rated ‘Medium’ threats. Encroachment, Human Wildlife Conflict, Forest fire, poaching, river bank cutting, river poisoning and electrocution, grazing, sand and stone mining, illegal logging and fuelwood collection are rated ‘Low’ threats. The detailed threat ratings and pressure points of those threats are illustrated below: Threat Ratings of Chitwan National Park and Buffer Zone

I. Situation Overview At least ten districts in the far- and mid-western regions have been affected by the heavy rains which started in the far-western districts and moved eastward. More than 40 deaths have been reported up to now, including 12 in Dadeldhura district, and 20 in Accham district (source: NRCS). The amount of rainfall was especially high in Doti and Dadeldhura districts, where it reached 245.7 mm and 227.4 mm respectively in a 24-hour period (Meteorological Forecasting Division website).

Therefore, this st udy was objectively carried out to compare the growing stock, carbon stock and biodiversity in and around Banke National Park (BaNP). The map of the study was prepared it was divided into six blocks were delineated specifically. Altogether 90 sample plots, particularly, 15 plots in each block were laid in the field. Circular nested plots having 8.92, 5.64, 1 and 0.56 m radius were established in the field to measure tree, poles, sapling and seedlings respectively. The soil samples were collected from 0–10, 10–20, and 20–30 cm depth. The diameter (at 1.3 m) and height of trees/poles/sapling were measured. The biomass was estimated using equation of Chave et al, and soil carbon was analyzed using Walkley and Black method. It was found that 104 trees/ha, 416poles/ha and 1991saplings/ha in BaNP.
