  • Abstract Book, First National Conference on Zoology 2020
    First National Conference on Zoology Biodiversity in a Changing World 28-30 November 2020 Abstracts Organized By Supported By: Foreword It is our pleasure to welcome you to the First National Conference on Zoology: Biodiversity in a Changing World on November 28–30, 2020 on a virtual platform. This conference is organized by the Central Department of Zoology and its Alumni on the occasion of the 55th Anniversary of the Department. This conference is supported by the IUCN Nepal, National Trust for Nature Conservation, WWF Nepal and Zoological Society of London Nepal office. The Central Department of Zoology envisioned three important strategies; teaching, research and extension of its strategic plan 2019 – 2023. The First National Conference is one of the most important extension activities of the Department in collaboration with leading conservation organizations of the country. We believe extension activities including national conference will help to mainstream zoology and make priority agenda of the government for research, faunal conservation, national development and employment. The main theme of the conference is “Biodiversity in a Changing World”, which is of utmost importance given global changes that species, ecosystem processes, landscapes and also people currently have to face together. Excessive exploitation of biological resources as well as global changes and the degradation of the natural environment have large-scale effects, some of which directly lead to the extinction of species and impacts on the health of people. The Conference provides us with the opportunity to meet, connect and learn from each other, share latest research results, and eventually envisage feasible means of conciliating human development and protect health of ecosystem and people with biodiversity conservation.
