Strengthening Capacity for Managing Climate Change and the Environment Technical Assistance Consultant’s Report Project Number: TA 7173 June 2012 Nepal: Strengthening Capacity for Managing Climate Change and the Environment – Completion Report on Raising Awareness of Media to Report on Climate Change and Environmental Management Prepared by Nepal Forum for Environmental Journalists (NEFEJ) Kathmandu, Nepal For Government of Nepal, Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology This consultant’s report does not necessarily reflect the views of ADB or the Government concerned, and ADB and the Government cannot be held liable for its contents. Raising Public and Media Awareness on Climate Change and Environmental Management ADB TA 7173 Project Completion Report Submitted to Ministry of Environment Nepal Government & Asian Development Bank Submitted by Nepal Forum of Environmental Journalists (NEFEJ) GPOB NO 5143 Thapathali Kathmandu, Nepal November 2011 Foreword Since its inception, NEFEJ has been actively involved in popularising environmental concerns among the general public through various programmes for more than two decade. However, with the urbanisation and changing global context, the new agendas have come up for discussion in the public sphere and we need to work a lot on addressing them. Changing climate patterns and their impact on the livelihood has become one of the major issues of discussion, alongside the international politics behind the adaptation strategies and required funding to meet the challenges. In our context, the climate change stories are complex even for those reporters who regularly cover them and have easy access to the knowledge banks. Reporting on scientific issues like climate change is quite complicated as most of the literatures are available either in English or in complicated Nepali language. Most of the Nepali reporters write their stories in Nepali, based on their limited knowledge of English and deliver the complicated messages to their desk editors or the editors. And, these editors, who also have limited knowledge on these issues, deliver same complicated message to the general people. As a result, audience gets confused while reading the reporting on these issues. NEFEJ consistently received queries regarding the possible guidelines on reporting the issues related to climate change and environmental management from colleagues from different media who are very keen to generate editorial content through their outlet. Considering this growing demand, NEFEJ requested the Ministry of Environment and the Asian Development Bank to assist them financially to prepare and publish a toolkit for journalists reporting on climate change. Thus, as a result, we have been able to develop the toolkit as a guidebook to our media colleagues. During our six months contact time, we developed the reporting toolkit, organised launching ceremony and conducted community engagement activities in two phases with an aim to educate and empower the journalists. Likewise, after the interaction with ADB TA mission on September 2011, we got another opportunity to impart our skills to the media colleagues in all five development regions of Nepal. These training were successfully carried out by the dedicated team of our organisation. These training programmes came to an end with the last training in Dhangadi on November 13-14. Other training sessions were held in Kathmandu (8-9 Nov), Pokhara and Biratnagar (10-11 Nov), and Nepalgunj (11-12 Nov). The participation of journalists was encouraging as their feedback was very positive as many of them told us that the training sessions were very helpful for them to understand the issues of climate change. We sincerely hope that the training has provided them ample opportunity and encouragement to report on climate change issues in the coming days. Many government officials and representatives from local administration and society were invited during the opening sessions of these training programmes in the respective places. The participants appreciated the efforts of the Ministry of Environment and NEFEJ in bringing up this issue and preparing the all important tool kit for journalists. All these training programmes were widely covered in the local media as well as national media. Many of these participants even stressed the need for more training programmes at district level to sensitize this issue, as the journalists were very much interested to know more about the climate change issues and their impact in the daily lives of the local people. I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to Meena Khanal, Joint Secretary of Ministry of Environment who is also heading the entire activities of ADB TA 7173 for her important inputs in preparing and implementing this project. Similarly, we would also like to express our sincere gratitude to Ms. Melissa Howell Alipalo and Ngmindra Dahal of ADB and Charles Pradhan and Dilliraj Joshi for their kind support in materialising this project. We have received similar support from our media colleagues in hold the training sessions. I would like to express my gratitude to Regional Media Resource Centres of Nepal Press Institute as they coordinated the entire training sessions in Biratnagar and Nepalgunj. The other training sessions would not have been possible without the support of Punya Paudel, senior journalist of Pokhara and Umid Bagchand, television journalist from far western region Dhangadhi. It would be unfair if I do not acknowledge the effort of Mohan Manandhar, who had significantly supported us in our eastern-regional training held in Biratnagar. Finally, I would also like to acknowledge our colleagues of NEFEJ who have contributed from their position to complete the entire project successfully.

  • Some Notes on Nepali Castes and Sub-Castes—Jat and Thar
    SOME NOTES ON NEPALI CASTES AND SUB-CASTES- JAT AND THAR. - Suresh Singh This paper attempts to make a re-presentation of evolution and construction of Jat and Thar system among the Parbatya or hill people of Nepal. It seeks to expose the reality behind the myth that the large number of Aryans migrated from Indian plains due to Muslim invasion and conquered to become the rulers in Nepal, and the Mongoloids were the indigenous people. It also seeks to show the construction and reconstruction of identity of the different castes (Jats) and subcastes (Thars). The Nepalese history is lost in legends and fables. Archaeological data, which might shed light on the early years, are practically nonexistent or largely unexplored, because the Nepalese Government has not encouraged such research within its borders. However, there seem to be a number of sites that might yield valuable find, once proper excavation take place. Another problem seems to be that history writing is closely connected with the traditional conception of Nepali historiography, constructed and intervened by the efforts of the ruling elite. Many of the written documents have been re-presented to legitimatize the ruling elite’s claim to power. As it is well known from political history, the social history, too, becomes an interpretation from the view of the Kathmandu valley, and from the Indian or alleged Indian immigrants and priestly class. It is difficult to imagine, that Aryans came to Nepal in greater numbers about 600 years ago, and because of their mental superiority and their noble character, they were asked by the people to become the rulers of their small states.

  • 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.
