Conservation and the linpact of Relocation on the Tharus of Chitwan, Nepal Joanne McLean Charles Sturt University (Australia) Since the establishment of the first national park in the United States in the nineteenth century, indig­ enous peoples have been forced to move from regions designated as parks. Some of these people have been relocated to other areas by the government, more often they have been told to leave the area and are given no alternatives (Clay, 1985:2). Introduction (Guneratne 1994; Skar 1999). The Thant are often de­ scribed as one people. However, many subgroups exist: The relocation of indigenous people from national Kochjla Tharu in the eastern Tarai, Chitwaniya and Desauri parks has become standard practice in developing coun­ in the central Tarai, and Kathariya, Dangaura and Rana tries with little regard for the impacts it imposes on a Tharu in the western Tarai (Meyer & Deuel, 1999).

  • Nepal – Maoists – Chitwan – State Protection – Local Government – Ward Chairmen
    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: NPL17502 Country: Nepal Date: 2 September 2005 Keywords: Nepal – Maoists – Chitwan – State protection – Local government – Ward Chairmen This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. Can you provide information on the activities of Maoists in Chitwan and the ability of the authorities to provide protection for individuals against threats from Maoists? 2. Do the Maoists have an office in Chitwan? Letter head paper or contact address? 3. What is a Ward and a Ward Chairman? 4. Is there evidence of the Maoists targeting members of Municipal councils or Ward Chairmen? RESPONSE 1. Can you provide information on the activities of Maoists in Chitwan and the ability of the authorities to provide protection for individuals against threats from Maoists? Activities A December 2002 Research Response provides information on Maoists in Chitwan suggesting it is a quiet area and they are mainly active in remote villages (RRT Country Research 2002 Research Response NPL17502, 24 December, question 1 – Attachment 1). A recent news item from the al Jazeera website refers to the Maoist-controlled district of Chitwan (‘Nepal blast triggers hunt for Maoists’ 2005, al Jazeera website, source: AFP, 6 June http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/9F7BE0A5-E320-4C5B-BD03- 7151D63A574F.htm - accessed 1 September 2005 - Attachment 2).

  • A Study Report of Narayani River Course, Central Nepal, 2007
    CHAPTER - I A STUDY REPORT OF NARAYANI RIVER COURSE, CENTRAL NEPAL, 2007 1.1. Background Flood is the natural phenomena that losses more property and human life in Nepal. The precipitation is highly concentrated in the monsoon season in Nepal. About 75 percent precipitation occurs in monsoon (June-September). 1 The flood phenomenon is common in the rainy season. Due to the high concentration of monsoon, high relief, steep mountain topography and deep and narrow river valleys with frequent mass wasting phenomena renders the country more hazardous and losses more property and human life annually. Every year about Rs. 748.95 million has been lost due to water Indus disaster in Nepal.2 The overall development of the country has been severely affected by repeated flooding. In the context of recent global warming phenomena, a consequent increase in the intensity of extreme precipitation events and the dynamic of glacial lakes in high mountain areas, the probability and potentially damaging of flood is likely to increase. In the past or before eradication of malaria in Terai, Dun and low land were prone of malaria. So the people lived in the low land in winter and shifted to the high land during the summer. This seasonal migration caused the flood hazard seemed not so destructive. After the eradication of malaria people, started to live in the Terai permanently. So the infrastructure in the recent past has increased the exposure of these areas to flood hazards. This happened after 1956. After the malaria eradication the investment to infrastructure development from the government side has been tremendously increased.

  • A Yellow-Throated Marten Martes Flavigula Carrying a Small Indian Civet Viverricula Indica
    A Yellow-throated Marten Martes flavigula carrying a Small Indian Civet Viverricula indica Babu Ram LAMICHHANE1*, Chiranjibi Prasad POKHERAL1, Ambika Prasad KHATIWADA1, Rama MISHRA2 and Naresh SUBEDI1 Abstract Yellow-throated Marten Martes flavigula has a wide geographic distribution, but little is known about its ecology and behaviour. A camera-trap survey in and around Chitwan National Park, Nepal, photographed a solitary Marten carrying a Small Indian Civet Viverricula indica. The animal was in a grassland patch amid Sal Shorea robusta forest. It is unclear whether the Marten killed the Civet. Recent camera-trap surveys suggest that Yellow-throated Marten is widespread in Chitwan NP with records from altitudes of 190–675 m; many records are from Sal forest.
