MODEL COMMUNITY FOREST

© WWF

FECOFUN, Hariyo Ban Program has introduced the concept of Model Community Forest with a primary aim of incorporating sustainable forest management as the core element of community forest. FECOFUN will pilot the concept of model community forest in selected community forests within the working areas of Hariyo Ban Program. This will provide an opportunity to create proven methods, processes and successes that can be replicated in other community forests throughout the country. The implementation of the model community forest will be guided by Forest Act, Community Forest Development Guideline, 2071 and the concept of sustainable forest management.

A Study on Promoting Community Managed Ecotourism in CHAL and TAL

© WWF

The tourism industry of Nepal is focused on two major motivations:namely the Himalayas and the rich cultural heritage of the Kathmandu Valley. Because of this narrow focus, tourism has been centered primarily in Kathmandu and the cities, such as Pokhara and Chitwan.

Preparing for Change - Climate Vulnerability Assessment of the CHAL

© WWF

The Himalayas are expected to experience many changes in temperature and precipitation due to climate change. Climate projections for Nepal suggest that monsoon (summer) precipitation will increase, especially in eastern and central Nepal, but actual rainfall patterns will be highly variable, both spatially and temporally. Extreme weather events are expected to become more frequent, with extended droughts interspersed between periods of intense precipitation. Winters are predicted to become warmer.

Assessment of Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trafficking in Banke-Kamdi Complex

Wildlife crime is a serious issue in conservation particularly of the threatened species of wild flora and fauna globally. Several endangered species such as Asian big cats, elephants and rhinoceros are at the verge of extinction if the current trend of wildlife crime is not retarded. Despite various efforts to control wildlife crime, such crime still exist sporadically and in low volume in the country.

Participatory Well-Being Ranking is a process by which a group of households are asked to rank themselves according to economic and social status. The process is conducted by Forest Users Groups with the assistance of local resource persons acting as facilitators. 

Internal Governance Tool 3 Participatory Governance Assessment

© WWF

The Participatory Governance Assessment tool is used to assess good governance practices in community groups. A group of selected participants evaluates the extent to which the decision making and management practices in a community group comply with the four ‘pillars’ of good governance: transparency, participation, accountability and predictability.

The manual seeks to present a best-case scenario, while also realizing that every situation is different and complex in its own way, very often requiring difficult decision-making on the part of the practitioner as to whether one should invest in longer-term, more comprehensive sub-basin or basin-oriented interventions or if one should instead implement more immediate short-term life or property saving interventions.

Climate change adaptation activities are being implemented in Nepal in line with the government's climate change policy, 201 0, National Adaptation Programme for Action (NAPA), 2011 and National Framework on Local Adaptation Plans for Action, 2011. Since 2012 the Hariyo Ban Program has been supporting local communities to prepare and implement community adaptation plans in more than 400 villages across 29 districts in two landscapes: TAL and CHAL.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Environmental Considerations

© WWF

When working on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) projects after disasters it is important to consider the environment throughout the project cycle. Projects with good environmental planning and management help reduce short-term risks to those affected by the disaster, as well as supporting disaster risk reduction and reducing exposure to natural hazards in the future, and hence decreasing household and community vulnerability. 

Post-disaster Shelter and Housing

© WWF

When planning, designing, and implementing shelter and housing reconstruction programs, it is important for shelter and construction agencies to consider the environment throughout the program cycle for relief, recovery and reconstruction. This includes site selection, material selection and procurement, and reconstruction practices undertaken by agencies, communities, households and contractors. To support environmental integration, training and awareness raising are needed, along with practical demonstrations of good practices.

Nepal Education Cluster

© WWF

The earthquakes in April and May of 2015 have had a devastating impact on the facilities and infrastructure in the education sector. Structural Assessment data indicates that in the 11 affected districts outside Kathmandu valley, 67% of classrooms (32,000) are unsafe for use. As a result, a large-scale education in emergencies response is under way, providing temporary classrooms, emergency learning supplies and teacher training on psychosocial support and life saving messages to 14 of the most affected districts.

Building Back Better, Safer and Greener for a More Resilient Nepal

© WWF

The Nepal earthquake in April 2015 and its after shocks resulted in huge loss of life, injury, and economic damage. The estimated value of damage and loss was US$7 billion, a large proportion of it housing. At the same time, there is a great opportunity to build back not only ‘better and safer’ but also greener, ensuring healthy ecosystems for disaster risk reduction and natural resources for resilient livelihoods and economic development.

Climate-change Impacts on the Biodiversity of the Terai Arc Landscape and the Chitwan-Annapurna Landscape

© WWF

The Eastern Himalayas are considered to be a region of global importance for biodiversity; the result of the synergistic interactions of the complex mountain terrain, extreme elevation gradients, overlaps of several biogeographic barriers, and regional monsoonal precipitation (Wikramanayake et al. 2001a). The distribution of the region’s biodiversity has been mapped as ecoregions directed along the horizontal axis of the mountain range (Wikramanayake et al. 2001b), and represent the ecological diversity from the Terai-duar grasslands and savannas at the base of the Himalayas to the alpine grasslands at the top, with the range of forest types in-between and along the steep altitudinal cline, from <300 m to> 4000 m.

Building Material Selection and Use - An Environmental Guide

© WWF

Two massive earthquakes that hit Nepal on 25 April and 12 May, 2015 caused far-reaching social, economic and environmental damage. Thirty-one of the country’s 75 districts were affected leaving over 8,790 deaths and 22,300 people injured. A total of 498,852 houses were categorized as fully collapsed or damaged beyond repair and 256,697 partly damaged. The earthquakes triggered thousands of landslides that destroyed 2.2% of forest cover in six affected districts (National Planning Commission 2015). Material demand to rebuild half a million destroyed houses and other infrastructure will put much additional pressure on Nepal’s already stressed natural resources.
