CBD Strategy and Action Plan NEPAL NATIONAL BIODIVERSITY STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN 2014-2020 PREPARED BY GOVERNMENT OF NEPAL MINISTRY OF FORESTS AND SOIL CONSERVATION SINGHADURBAR, KATHMANDU, NEPAL JULY 2014 National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan Page i Government of Nepal KATHMANDU NEPAL The Prime Minister Message Government of Nepal is committed to the conservation and sustainable utilization of biodiversity for the prosperity of its people and the nation. As Nepal is endowed with rich biological diversity, it has tremendous potential in reshaping people’s livelihood and economic base of the country. Its conservation and management through relevant strategy is indispensable. The National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) designed for the period 2014-2020 is aimed to provide a strategic framework for the conservation of Nepal’s biodiversity. The NBSAP envisions a conserved biodiversity contributing for sound and resilient ecosystems and national prosperity. This document has been revised from the earlier Nepal Biodiversity Strategy (2002) and Implementation Plan (2006-2010) after rigorous and extensive consultations engaging a wide range of stakeholders from national to community level. The NBSAP embraces the commitment to fulfill the international obligation as signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity. I am confident that this strategy will provide a firm basis for planning and sustainable management of biological diversity across all sector in the country. Finally, I would like to appreciate the efforts made by Mr. Mahesh Acharya, Hon’ble Minister, Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation (MoFSC) and Dr. Ganesh Raj Joshi, Secretary MoFSC and his team for the preparation of this document. July 2014 Sushil Koirala ii Government of Nepal Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation Singha Durbar, Kathamandu Foreword Nepal strives to achieve sustainable economic growth through wise use of its natural resources. The Government of Nepal fully recognizes that the efforts to economic growth would only be sustainable if undertaken through sound environmental management. Accordingly, we are fully committed to managing the country’s rich biological diversity as per the national need, and in the spirit of the Convention on Biological Diversity and other relevant multilateral environmental agreements to which Nepal is a Party. This National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) is a key step forward towards achieving this goal. We are proud to the achievements that the country has made in conserving its biodiversity during the past decades. Community based management of forests and agro-biological resources are some of the successful conservation models in the country, which also have direct positive contribution to poverty alleviation. Protected area is another sub-sector that has made impressive progress in biodiversity conservation in the last few decades. With over 23 percent of its land area under protection, Nepal now ranks second in Asia and one of the top 20 countries in the world for the percentage of its surface area that is protected. Population of some mega wildlife species, such as tiger and rhinoceros, have been continuously increasing during the past few years. However, some real threats and challenges are still with us. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our development and conservation partners for their support and local communities for their sincere efforts to conserve and sustainably use the country’s biodiversity. We look forward to even stronger cooperation and collaboration among all the national and international stakeholders in implementing NBSAP. The Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation (MoFSC) will leave no stone unturned in taking the lead in implementation of the strategies and priority actions included in this document. I would like to thank Dr. Ganesh R. Joshi, Secretary MoFSC for coordinating the process of preparing NBSAP and reviewing it and his entire team and the then secretaries Mr. Keshav P. Bhattarai, Mr. Nabin K. Ghimire and Dr. Krishna C. Poudel for initiating the process. July 2014 Mahesh Acharya Minister iii Government of Nepal Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation Singha Durbar, Kathmandu Acknowledgement The unique geographic position and variations in altitude and climate have made Nepal as one of the storehouses of biological diversity in the world. The Government of Nepal is committed to conserve and use this important natural resource sustainably for the benefit of the country’s present and future generations. This National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) is a key milestone in the conservation history of Nepal, following the Biodiversity Profiles of Nepal (1996) and Nepal Biodiversity Strategy (2002). It is also a testimony of Nepal’s continued commitment towards fulfilling her international obligations. The document provides a comprehensive account of the country’s biodiversity; identifies the threats to biodiversity; describes the key efforts, achievements and gaps in the management of biodiversity; presents strategic approaches, theme-specific strategies and associated priorities for actions; and outlines the implementation arrangement. The strategies and priority actions take into consideration of the national needs in terms of conservation, sustainable use of its components and equitable sharing of benefits. The strategy will be implemented in collaboration and partnership with all relevant stakeholders. I believe that the document like this will attract the attention of both national stakeholders as well as of the global community. Several organizations and individuals, including government agencies, NGOs, members of local user groups, civil society organizations, farmers and individual experts, contributed in different ways to this strategy and action plan. I would appreciate the efforts and inputs of reviewers namely Mr. Batu K. Uprety, Dr. Ram P. Chaudhary, Dr. Bijay K. Singh, Mr. Bimal K. Baniya, Mr. Shyam Bajimaya, and Mr. Harihar Sigdel.

  • Catalase in Brachionus Calyciflorus During the Aging Process
    Changes in Expression of Manganese Superoxide Dismutase, Copper and Zinc Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase in Brachionus calyciflorus during the Aging Process Jianghua Yang, Siming Dong, Qichen Jiang, Tengjiao Kuang, Wenting Huang, Jiaxin Yang* Jiangsu Province Key Laboratory for Biodiversity & Biotechnology and Jiangsu Province Key Laboratory for Aquatic Live Food, School of Biological Sciences, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, People’s Republic of China Abstract Rotifers are useful model organisms for aging research, owing to their small body size (0.1–1 mm), short lifespan (6–14 days) and the relative easy in which aging and senescence phenotypes can be measured. Recent studies have shown that antioxidants can extend the lifespan of rotifers. In this paper, we analyzed changes in the mRNA expression level of genes encoding the antioxidants manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), copper and zinc SOD (CuZnSOD) and catalase (CAT) during rotifer aging to clarify the function of these enzymes in this process. We also investigated the effects of common life- prolonging methods [dietary restriction (DR) and resveratrol] on the mRNA expression level of these genes. The results showed that the mRNA expression level of MnSOD decreased with aging, whereas that of CuZnSOD increased. The mRNA expression of CAT did not change significantly. This suggests that the ability to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the mitochondria reduces with aging, thus aggravating the damaging effect of ROS on the mitochondria. DR significantly increased the mRNA expression level of MnSOD, CuZnSOD and CAT, which might explain why DR is able to extend rotifer lifespan. Although resveratrol also increased the mRNA expression level of MnSOD, it had significant inhibitory effects on the mRNA expression of CuZnSOD and CAT.

  • Brachionus Rotifers As a Model for Investigating Dietary and Metabolic Regulators of Aging
    Nutrition and Healthy Aging 6 (2021) 1–15 1 DOI 10.3233/NHA-200104 IOS Press Review Brachionus rotifers as a model for investigating dietary and metabolic regulators of aging Kristin E. Gribble∗ Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA, USA Abstract. Because every species has unique attributes relevant to understanding specific aspects of aging, using a diversity of study systems and a comparative biology approach for aging research has the potential to lead to novel discoveries applicable to human health. Monogonont rotifers, a standard model for studies of aquatic ecology, evolutionary biology, and ecotoxicology, have also been used to study lifespan and healthspan for nearly a century. However, because much of this work has been published in the ecology and evolutionary biology literature, it may not be known to the biomedical research community. In this review, we provide an overview of Brachionus rotifers as a model to investigate nutritional and metabolic regulators of aging, with a focus on recent studies of dietary and metabolic pathway manipulation. Rotifers are microscopic, aquatic invertebrates with many advantages as a system for studying aging, including a two-week lifespan, easy laboratory culture, direct development without a larval stage, sexual and asexual reproduction, easy delivery of pharmaceuticals in liquid culture, and transparency allowing imaging of cellular morphology and processes. Rotifers have greater gene homology with humans than do established invertebrate models for aging, and thus rotifers may be used to investigate novel genetic mechanisms relevant to human lifespan and healthspan. The research on caloric restriction; dietary, pharmaceutical, and genetic interventions; and transcriptomics of aging using rotifers provide insights into the metabolic regulators of lifespan and health and suggest future directions for aging research.

Dr. Ferdinand Bohlmann previously reported a thirteen carbon chlorinated polyacetylene found in the roots of Anaphalis species that was of much interest due to its structural similarity to known antibacterial and antifungal compounds. The goal was to successfully isolate and characterize this compound, known as (E)-5-chloro-2-(octa-2,4,6-triynylidene)-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran, as well as identify other compounds previously unidentified in A. margaritacea. Although this particular compound has not been identified yet, various other compounds have, including terpenes, unsaturated compounds, and ring systems.
