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).

  • Tree Species Diversity, Composition, Stocks and Soil Nutrients Dynamics Due to Management Practice in Collaborative Forest
    Journal of Aquatic Science and Marine Biology Volume 2, Issue 1, 2019, PP 19-25 ISSN 2638-5481 Tree Species Diversity, Composition, Stocks and Soil Nutrients Dynamics Due to Management Practice in Collaborative Forest 1Yom Bahadur Oli, 2*Ram Asheshwar Mandal 1Kathmandu Forestry College 2School of Environmental Science and Management (SchEMS) *Corresponding author: Ram Asheshwar Mandal, School of Environmental Science and Management (SchEMS) ABSTRACT Sustainable forest management practices have been just initiated in Nepal but its effect on species diversity, composition and stock have not assessed yet. Thus, this research was objectively carried out to explore and assess the effects of forest management activities on tree species diversity, composition, and its growing stock. The 1-yr and 7-yr old felling series (FS) as well as control plot of three sub-compartments in Tilaurakot collaborative forest were selected as study site. Stratified random sampling was applied based on felling series. Altogether 76 samples were taken in nested quadrate having 20m*25m for trees, 10m*10m for poles, 5m*5m for saplings and 5m*2m for seedlings respectively. Soil samples were collected from 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30cm depths. Diameter at breast height (DBH) and height of plant were measured. Species richness, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Simpson’s diversity index, Shannon diversity index and evenness were calculated as well as soil nutrients particularly N, P, K and OM were estimated. The Simpson’s diversity index, Shannon diversity index and evenness were found to be highest (0.740±0.052), (1.689±0.213) and (0.909±0.004) respectively in 1-yr old felling series at over storey on contrary it was found to be the highest (0.780 ± 0.035), (2.153 ± 0.261) and (0.935 ± 0.102) respectively at under storey in 7-yr old FS.
