Sustainable Tourism Enhancement in Nepal's Protected Areas Public Disclosure Authorized
Sustainable Tourism Enhancement in Nepal's Protected Areas Public Disclosure Authorized Environmental and Social Management Framework Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized National Trust for Nature Conservation GPO Box 3712, Khumaltar, Lalitpur, Nepal May 2020 Executive Summary 1. Description of the Project: Tourism is one of the major contributors to the sustainable economy of Nepal. The direct contribution of the tourism sector in the national GDP was at 4% in 2017 and is forecasted to rise by 3.8% per annum to reach 4.2% in 2028 (World Travel and Tourism Council, 2018). Despite tremendous growth potential in tourism sector, Nepal stands as a low-cost tourist destination with much lower daily tourist spending than the regional average. This is a high time for Nepal to think about and harness high value nature-based tourism. Nature based tourism is a key driver of Nepal's tourism, providing the sector both comparative and competitive advantages in the unique setting of rich topographic, biological and cultural diversity. In this context, the World Bank is supporting GoN to implement the project entitled “Sustainable Tourism Enhancement in Nepal’s Protected Areas (STENPA)". Project Destinations: The project focuses on areas with Nature-Based Tourism (NBT) potential with the aim of piloting a sustainable tourism approach that can be replicated across Nepal’s protected areas (PAs). The project destinations include PA at their core, nearby gateway cities and surrounding areas with NBT potential, and has identified six PAs as the initial project destinations (Bardia, Banke Shukla Phanta and Rara National Parks, and their buffer zones; and Annapurna and Manaslu conservation Areas). -
Participatory Ranking of Fodders in the Western Hills of Nepal

In the mid hills of Nepal, farmers generally practice integrated farming system that combines crop cultivation with livestock husbandry and agroforestry. Tree fodders are good sources of protein during the forage and green grass scarcity periods especially in dry season. Local communities possess indigenous knowledge for the selection of grasses and tree fodders at different seasons in mid hills of western Nepal. A study was conducted on the perception of farmers with respect to selection of fodder species in eight clusters in Kaski and Lumjung districts that range 900-2000 meter above sea level and receive average precipitation of 2000- 4500mm per annum. During the fodder preference ranking, farmers prepared the inventory of fodders found around the villages and nearby forests and selected top ten most important fodders in terms of their availability, palatability, fodder yield, milk yield and milk fat yield. -
Water Quality in Pokhara: a Study with Microbiological Aspects
A Peer Reviewed TECHNICAL JOURNAL Vol 2, No.1, October 2020 Nepal Engineers' Association, Gandaki Province ISSN : 2676-1416 (Print) Pp.: 149- 161 WATER QUALITY IN POKHARA: A STUDY WITH MICROBIOLOGICAL ASPECTS Kishor Kumar Shrestha Department of Civil and Geomatics Engineering Pashchimanchal Campus, Pokhara E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Obviously, water management is challenging issue in developing world. Dwellers of Pokhara use water from government supply along with deep borings and other sources as well. Nowadays, people are also showing tendency towards more use of processed water. In spite of its importance, quality analysis of water has been less emphasized by concerned sectors in our cities including Pokhara. The study aimed for qualitative analysis of water in the city with focus on microbiological aspects. For this purpose, results of laboratory examination of water samples from major sources of government supply, deep borings, hospitals, academic institutions as well as key water bodies situated in Pokhara were analyzed. Since water borne diseases are considered quite common in the area, presence of coliform bacteria was considered for the study to assess the question on availability of safe water. The result showed that all the samples during wet seasons of major water sources of water in Pokhara were contaminated by coliform bacteria. Likewise, in all 20 locations of Seti River, the coliform bacteria were recorded. Similar results with biological contamination in all samples were observed after laboratory examination of more than 60 locations of all three lakes: Phewa Lake, Begnas Lake and Rupa Lake in Pokhara. The presence of such bacteria in most of the water samples of main sources during wet seasons revealed the possibilities of spreading water related diseases. -

Department of Forest Resources Management THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date: AUGUST 1985 Abstract Data on erosion processes and other aspects of environmental change in the Himalaya are scarce and unreliable, and consequently policy decisions have been taken in a quantitative vacuum. Published estimates of denudation for large catchments in Nepal vary from 0.51 to 5.14 mm/yr, and indicate a dynamic geomorphological environment A review of the literature on erosion in Nepal revealed a consensus that: (1) mass wasting is the dominant hillslope process; (2) activity is seasonal, with virtually all failures occurring during the monsoon; (3) geological factors are the most important determinants of slope stability; (4) sediment delivery to channels is high; (5) little quantitative evidence exists to link landsliding to deforestation. -

In Nepal, mycobacterial isolates obtained from the milk and feces of buffaloes and cattle that were positive for the single intra- dermal cervical tuberculin (SICT) tests were genetically identified. A total of 36 mycobacterial strains were isolated from 39% of the buffaloes (14 of 36) and 34% of the cattle (11 of 32). Of the 36 strains, 13 were identified as M. bovis, and these strains were isolated from 17% of the buffaloes (6 of 36) and 16% of the cattle (5 of 32). M. bovis was isolated from both the milk and feces of one buffalo and one cattle, the milk alone of three buffaloes and three cattle, and the feces alone of two buffaloes and one cattle. These results sug- gest that milking buffaloes and cattle infected with M. bovis exist in Nepal.
