The agencies currently working in the relief work vis-à-vis the food security shared their updates. Further, the same agencies need to share/supply the information to the cluster lead (sheet attached). A total of 9133 MT standing crops is expected to be damaged in the district due to earthquake. 267 MT of seeds also damaged. There is soon paddy seeds requirements. FAO has agreed to support 10 MT. Since, seeds might not be available locally and that there is a legal barrier for its import, this issue needs to be taken at higher level. Alternatively, farmers could be motivated to go through the alternative crops and that planning needs to be done accordingly. There might be food insecurity situation in the northern VDC following an onset of monsoon. Hence, an establishment of a food storage facility at Charikot Bazar is felt-need. Agencies working on food security are requested to work on it.

The food security situation in the flood affected districts of Eastern and Western Terai remains precarious, requiring close monitoring, while in the majority of other districts the food security situation is likely to improve in November-December due to harvesting of the paddy crop. Decreased maize and paddy production in some districts may indicate a deteriorating food insecurity situation from January onwards. this period.

PSYCHOSOCIAL INTERVENTION FOR EARTHQUAKE SURVIVORS FINAL REPORT JANUARY 2017 PSYCHOSOCIAL INTERVENTION FOR EARTHQUAKE SURVIVORS Duration June 2015 to December 2016 FOREWORD AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The 2015 earthquakes caused huge losses across 14 hill districts of Nepal. CMC-Nepal subsequently provided psychosocial and mental health support to affected people with funding from more than eight partners. The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) supported a major emergency mental health and psychosocial response project in Dolakha, Ramechhap and Okhaldhunga districts from June 2015 to December 2016. I would first like to thank the project team for their hard work, dedication and many contributions. The success of the project is because of their hard work and motivation to learn. I thank the psychosocial counsellors and community psychosocial worker (CPSWs) for their dedication to serving the earthquake survivors. They developed their skills and provided psychosocial services to many distressed people. I congratulate them for successfully completing their training on psychosocial counselling (for counsellors) and psychosocial support (for CPSWs) and for their courage to provide support to their clients amidst difficult circumstances. I also thank the Project’s Supervisors (Karuna Kunwar, Madhu Bilash Khanal, Jyotshna Shrestha and Sujita Baniya), and Monitoring Supervisor (Himal Gaire) for their valuable constant backstopping support to the district staff. I thank Dorothee Janssen de Bisthoven (Expat Psychologist and Supervisor) for her help to build the capacity and maintain the morale of the project’s supervisors.

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.
