Introduction A magnitude 7.6 earthquake of shallow depth struck central Nepal with an epicenter approximately 77km north-west of Kathmandu on April 25th 2015 causing widespread destruction. On May 12, 2015 a large after shock of a magnitude 6.8 hit Nepal and caused further causalities and damage. As of 3 June 2015, the reported casualties include: 8,702 deaths and 22,493 people injured. As the earthquake sequence destroyed 490,000 houses mostly traditional mud brick and mud stone built and occupied by the rural poor and rendered another 265,000 houses at least temporarily uninhabitable, the largest single need identified in the Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) was housing and human settlements, accounting for US$ 3.27 billion of needs. The Government of Nepal (GON) has requested support from a number of development partners, including the WB, to address the immediate and long-term damage inflicted by the earthquake in Nepal. In response to this, World Bank approved a US$200 million loan to finance the Earthquake Reconstruction Project (EHRP) approved on 18 June 2015 to support 55 thousand households of three severely affected districts namely: Dolakha, Dhading and Nuwakot. The project will support in restoring affected houses with multi hazard resistant core housing units in target areas and to enhance government’s ability to improve long-term disaster resilience. Initially, the EHRP is to be completed by July 2020. Considering the further need to support GoN, International Development Association (the World Bank) has agreed to support additional US$300 million loan to finance the Earthquake Housing Reconstruction Project (EHRP). The recent additional loan support will cover another eleven severely affected districts including Gorkha covering 96000 households from Additional Financing and 3200 households from Multi Donor Fund. Environment and Social Management Framework serves as a practical tool to ensure that environment and social aspects are duly considered in the planning and implementation process of earthquake housing reconstruction project. Accordingly, Revised ESMF, have guided to address the environmental and social issues of the projects by site-specific environmental and social management plan after selection of the sub-projects prioritized by orientation and consultation in the respective local government. Dolakha district is located in province- 3 situated in the height from 762 m to 7132 m from mean sea level. The district lies in the latitude of 85 50' to 86 32' East and longitude of 27 28' to 28 00' North. The climatic condition of districts varies from tropical to alpine and tundra type. The average annual maximum temperature is 19° C and minimum temperature is 8° C. The average rainfall is 2043.5 ml (District Profile Dolakha, 2015). Dolakha is one the earthquake affected district. According to National Reconstruction Authority (NRA), the total number of houses damaged in district is 58,388 of which 56553 are fully damaged and 1835 partially damaged. Dolakha district is administratively divided into 7 Rural Municipality and 2 municipalities (former: 48 VDCs & 2 Municipalities). The total population residing in the district is about 186,557 in 45,688 households (HH) with an average HH size of 4.11 The female population (99554) in the 1 districts is higher than that of male population (87003). The sex ratio of the district is 85.47 (CBS, 2012) Beneficiaries’ data of Dolakha District: SN Beneficiaries Beneficiaries Ist tranche 2nd tranche 3rd tranche (Nos) with (Nos) (Nos) (Nos) Agreement (Nos) 1 72819 67337 63532 54130 46856 Source: MIS dated 2076/01/02 Bigu Rural Municipality ranges from the altitude of 965 to 5960 meter covers former VDCs Lamabagar, Orang, Bulung, Laduk, Chilankha, Alampu, Bigu and Khopachangu. Administratively it is divided into 8 wards. Famous religious place as Bigu Gumba is located in the Bigu Rural Municipality (former Bigu VDC). The Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower project is located at Ward-1 of BRM (former Lamabagar VDC). Singati river, Sorung Khola, Jorung Khola, Sorpa and Dorung Khola are the major rivers passes through Bigu Rural Municapility. 2 2. Objectives of ESMP This Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is addresses the problem arise by shortage of water on hygiene, sanitation and other daily activities due to increase demand of water for reconstruction and decreased capacity of storage tank. Therefore the Main Objective of this ESMP is to maintain and rehabilitate the RVT, Intake, distribution pipeline and construction of public taps of Water Supply System to support in reconstruction of remaining houses of EHRP beneficiaries 3.

  • Gaurishankar Conservation Area - a Prime Habitat for Red Panda (Ailurus Fulgens) in Central Nepal
    The Initiation Gaurishankar Conservation Area - A Prime Habitat for Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens) in Central Nepal Arjun Thapa1 Sunil Thapa1 and Shambu Poudel2 Corresponding email: [email protected] Abstract: Globally threatened Red Panda is found in isolated high mountain’s bamboo- forest patches in Nepal, India, Bhutan, China and Burma. This study was focused in Gaurishankar Conservation Area, one of the newly declared protected areas of Nepal, with aim to glean baseline information regarding existence of Red Panda, its habitat status and conservation issues. Methods like altitudinal line intercept, key informant survey and consultation (with local people, herders, conservation stakeholder) were used to address the objectives. Marbu, Kalinchok, Gaurishankar (Dolkha District), Chuchure, Gumdel (Ramechhap District) and Fulpingkatti (Sindupalchok District) area were surveyed in first phase of study and presence of Red Panda distribution was recorded from Marbu, Kalinchok, Chuchure and Fulpingkatti forests areas through sign evidence (fecal pellets). A total of 24 transects were established randomly in the whole area and only 16 transects were worked effectively because of topographical barrier. Distribution of Red Panda was found as clumped pattern ( ). Among these sites, frequent sign encounter was recorded in Marbu (5.45/km) area followed by Fulpingkatti (5.06/km), Kalinchok (3.73/km) and Chuchre (1.67/km). Like in other areas, conservation issues like habitat destruction, livestock pressure, fire wood collection and illegal poaching were rampant in Gaurishankar also. This study recommended for detail survey on population status and conservation activities should be elaborated in current identified habitat as well as further survey should be focused on other possible habitats within conservation area.

Human being’s modern advancement are unfortunately taking a heavy toll on nature. Exponential population growth, aggravating poverty, expanding industrialization and unwarranted interference with nature’s indivisible elements – species, ecosystems and climate has put today’s global society out of harmony with nature. Nature as we know it is all giving, yet hardly immune from overexploitation. Therefore, sustenance and conservation of nature in delivering our developmental needs must be at the center of today’s aspiration for prosperity. Thence, increased commitment for sustainability and a collective action to secure our material progress in harmony with nature is imperative. In the midst of surmounting environmental problems both globally and locally, the National Trust for Nature Conservation continues to move forward to do its best in balancing the needs of people to that of nature’s sustainability. With a sense of concern FOREWORD and responsiveness from all spheres of society, we believe that a harmonious relationship between people and nature is attainable. Being guided in our mission to secure biodiversity for posterity, we understand the irreplaceable value that natural systems bring to life, and what it would mean if these are not secured.
