  • Spatio-Temporal Variation of Fish Assemblages in Babai River of Dang District, Province No. 5, Nepal
    Our Nature | December 2019 | 17 (1): 19-30 Spatio-temporal variation of fish assemblages in Babai River of Dang district, Province No. 5, Nepal Punam G.C and Jash Hang Limbu Central Department of Zoology, T.U., Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal E-mail:[email protected] Abstract Spatial and temporal variation of fish assemblages were investigated seasonally from October 2018 to May 2019. Fish assemblages were agglomerated with environmental variables both to spatial and temporal scales. Water temperature, dissolved Oygen, free carbon-dioxide, pH and water velocity of water of each site were measured. Based on analysis of similarities (ANOSIM), fish assemblages were significantly different in spatial variation but not in temporal variation. A total of 1,024 individuals belonging to 5 orders, 9 families and 15 genera and 24 species were collected. The dominated species were Puntius sophore, followed by P. terio, P. ticto and Barilius bendelisis. The Redundancy Analysis (RDA) vindicated that environmental variables of water temperature, pH, water velocity and free carbon-dioxide were found to be contributed variables to shape the fish assemblage structure of Babai River. The cluster analysis delineated that similarity between fish species decreases as the distance of sites increased.

  • Groundwater Research in NEPAL for Tiger Conservation
    GROUNDWATER RESEARCH IN NEPAL FOR TIGER CONSERVATION A reconnaissance study to groundwater dynamics in an alluvial mega-fan in Bardiya National Park (Terai), focusing on the interaction between groundwater and the Karnali river. Author: Hanne. Berghuis. MSc. Thesis. Program: Earth, Surface and Water at Utrecht University. 1st Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Jasper Griffioen. 2nd Supervisor: Dr. Derek Karssenberg. Date: 28-06-2019. Student No.: 6190987. Contact: [email protected]. Photo credits: Esther Leystra (2019). Nepal: Bardiya National Park. Acknowledgement I’d like to thank my supervisor Jasper Griffioen for the opportunity to hydrologically explore Bardiya. His enthusiasm for the project was inspiring and his close involvement was very motivating. My friend Ewa van Kooten introduced me to this project. Together we travelled to Nepal for three months. Thanks to her I enjoyed every single day of our time in Bardiya. She often came up with new ideas for field measurements, creative ways to fabricate field equipment or interpretations for unexpected observations. I am grateful for the Himalayan Tiger Foundation (HTF), who took the initial initiative for hydrological research in Bardiya. I very much appreciate their efforts for the conservation of the wild tiger. During the meetings in the Netherlands and around the campfire in Bardiya with the members and co of HTF, I have learned and laughed a lot. Moreover, I like to thank them for getting us in touch with the National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC). The staff of NTNC heartily welcomed us in Bardiya and at their office. They made us feel like a part of the NTNC-family by letting us join their festivals, dinners and campfires.

However, there are still many challenges related to equity when the net enrolment data are disaggregated at the district and school level, which are crucial and cannot be generalized. As per Flash Monitoring Report 2014- 15, the net enrolment rate for girls is high in primary school at 93.6%, it is 59.5% in lower secondary school, 42.5% in secondary school and only 8.1% in higher secondary school, which show that fewer girls complete the full cycle of education.
