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).

  • 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.

I would like to thank WWF and all consortium partners (CARE, NTNC, and FECOFUN) for submitting the updated M&E Plan. The revised M&E Plan is consistent with the approved Annual Work Plan and the Program Description of the Cooperative Agreement (CA). This updated M&E has added/revised/updated targets to systematically align additional earthquake recovery funding added into the award through 8th modification of Hariyo Ban award to WWF to address very unexpected and burning issues, primarily in four Hariyo Ban program districts (Gorkha, Dhading, Rasuwa and Nuwakot) and partly in other districts, due to recent earthquake and associated climatic/environmental challenges. This updated M&E Plan, including its added/revised/updated indicators and targets, will have very good programmatic meaning for the program’s overall performance monitoring process in the future.

  • Cases of Farmer Managed Irrigation Systems from East Chitwan'
    Dynamics in Water Rights and Arbitration on Water Right Conflicts: Cases of Farmer Managed Irrigation Systems from East Chitwan' A. Shukla, N. R. Joshi, G. Shivakoti, R. Poudel and N. Shrestha' INTRODUCTION This paper examines the dynamism in water rights from the perspective of property creating process and its regulation and use and the mechanisms of arbitration when conflicts arise in the process. In conceptualizing irrigation development as property, the paper draws upon the property framework of Coward (1983). The development and subsequent management of irrigation systems involve investment of resources of some form, whether capital, labor, material or know- how. The mobilization and investment of resources may occur in private, community or state management regimes. Those who make the investment develop claims on the water supply that is acquired and the physical structures that are created for acquisition, conveyance, regulation and distribution of available supply of water. Even in the case of the state management, the investment of resources for imgation development has a targeted area and users to serve. Within the system each individual who has invested in the development and management of irrigation system has claim on the portion of available water supply. The collective claim on acquired supply of water is therefore apportioned into individual's claim. In defining the individual's claim the imgators come to a set of agreements that creates a social contract for 173 irrigators to realize their claims and acknowledge the claims of others. These agreements are apparent in the forms of rules, roles and sanctions to define, constrain and enforce individual’s claims (Pradhan 1987).While in some irrigation systems the set ofagreements are well articulated, in others there may be little codification.

The future of wild animals seems to be uncertain because it has been realized in these recent years that without the support of local participation in wildlife management, conservation is not effective however the query is how the wild animals can be preserved if the local community is negative towards wild animals. H ence, the need of appropriate and long term mitigation measures has been felt. KEYWORDS: Wild Animals of Chitwan National Park, Nepal INTRODUCTION Wildlife means all the flora and fauna that are found in natural habitat and are not tamed by humans. Wildlife is important because they have economic value, scientific value, survival value and for its own natural beauty. The practice of prot ecting the wild plant and animal species in their natural habitat is called as wildlife conservation. Wildlife is under threat mainly because of human activities, starting from destruction of habitats to spread of diseases. The anthropogenic activities hav e largely affected the wildlife. Human activities and their effects on wildlife are increasing since the end of 20 th century and the beginning of 21 st century.

  • Groundwater Flow Pattern and Water Level Fluctuation in Western Parts of Chitwan Valley
    Journal of Nepal Geological Society, 2016, Vol. 50, Groundwaterpp. 51-54 Flow Pattern and water level fluctuation, Chitwan valley Groundwater flow pattern and water level fluctuation in western parts of Chitwan valley *Sushmita Bhandari1, Kabita Karki1, Surendra Maharjan2 and Suresh Das Shrestha3 1Department of Mines and Geology, Nepal 2Ground water Resources Development Board (GWRDB), Branch officer Birgunj 3Central Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal (Email: [email protected]) ABSTRACT Study of flow pattern and water level fluctuation in the western part of the Chitwan Valley was carried out in the area of 274.48 km2. The study area consists of alluvial deposits of the Narayani and the Rapti River of Pleistocene to Recent age. Aquifers in the study area are unconfined and semi confined to confined types. Based on the static water level, Jagatpur, Sukranagar and Gunjanagar are deep tube well zone and Shivanagar, Parbatipur, Patihani, Gitanagar are shallow tube well zone. The western half area discharges groundwater to the Narayani River and southern half discharges to the Rapti River rather than getting recharged throughout the year. Average water level fluctuation is 2.34 m with high fluctuation of 4.88 m at Sukranagar and low 0.49 m at Dibyanagar VDC. This fluctuation is directly related to rainfall. Keywords: Hydrogeology, groundwater, flow pattern, Water level fluctuation, Chitwan, Paper Received: 20 April 2015 Paper Accepted: 06 November 2015 INTRODUCTION The hydrogeological study of the western parts of the Chitwan valley was carried out to study the groundwater flow pattern and water level fluctuation of the study area. The Chitwan valley lies approximately 146 km southwest from the Kathmandu, the capital city of the country.
