DECIDUOUS FRUIT PRODUCTION IN NEPAL

INTRODUCTION

 The kingdom of Nepal is a small and totally land locked mountainous country in South Asia.

 It is situated between 26°22’ and 30°27’ north latitude and 80°4’ and 88°12’ east longitude.
 It is surrounded by India to the East, South and West and by the Tibetan region of China to
 the North. The shape of the country is somewhat rectangular measuring 880 km from East to West
 and 130 to 240 km in width. The total geographical area of the country is 147,181 square km.
 The population of the kingdom was 21.4 million in 1996/97 with an annual growth rate of 2.1 percent.
 Per capita GDP was very low in 1996/97 (US$200). The total cultivable area is 3.96 million
hectares of which 2.97 million ha are under cultivation. The irrigated area is only 26% of
the total cultivated land; the rest depends largely on monsoon rain, 80% of which is received
 during June to September.

Nepal is a predominantly agricultural country. Agriculture is the lead sector for the national
economy and accounts for about 42% of the GDP. About 81.1% of the population or about 3.3 million
families are engaged in agriculture. Land holding per family of 5-6 members is 6.5 ha in the
 hills and 1.8 ha in the terai.

The Nepalese hill economy is characterized by typical subsistence agriculture based on cereal
 crops, and is practiced on terraces of often very steep slopes which are subjected to a great
 loss of top soil by erosion during heavy rain. Hilly soil is generally acidic and with poor
 nutrient content, especially nitrogen.

Administratively, the country is divided into 75 districts and five development regions,
 namely, Eastern (16 districts), Central (19 districts), Western (16 districts), Mid-Western

 (15 districts) and Far-Western (9 districts).

Mount Everest

Essay On Mount Everest

 Mount Everest is one of the most popular mountains in the world, and the highest. Many people dream to
climb Everest, and achieve the top. Once the top is achieved, something done once in a lifetime is achieved.

                Mount Everest stands at a whopping 8 850 meters in the air, but that measurement is Everest
above sea level. Everest is so high in the air, that the climber needs oxygen tanks in order to breathe and
 the climber need extremely warm clothes in order to survive. If one of them is missing, the climber will
most likely die. If the climber does not have the extremely warm clothes, he/she will certainly die of hypothermia.
 Because Everest is so tall there are many dangers that come with the attempt to climb it, so be prepared.

                A whopping 2 700 people survived Mount Everest, in fact, 300 people live on Mount Everest
 including doctors, scientists, etc. Although people may live on Mount Everest, not everybody survives.
 The most people killed at once on Mount Everest were 8 people. It is important that the climber is cautious while on Mount Everest, and he/she should spend a few days to get used to new areas on Mount Everest so that his/her body can produce more red blood cells. The higher the climber goes, the thinner the air (which is why the climber brings oxygen tanks). There are many other dangers on Everest such as glaciers covering crevasses, or the unexpected storms that arrive (such as avalanches).

                On Everest, there is something called the death zone. When the climber has passed 8 000 meters,
 he/she has officially reached the death zone. It is called the death zone because the wind is at its coldest,
and the air is at its thinnest. Passed the death zone there is only one quarter of oxygen in the air, again that
 is why the climber must bring air tanks to breathe. One important thing for the climber to do on Mount Everest
 is to bring some friends. With friends the climber has a higher chance of survival because there are many things
a friend can do for another friend.

                People usually go in April to May if they want to climb Everest. This is because the temperature
 is usually lower. If the temperature is lower, then the less chance of the climber getting frostbite or
hypothermia when reaching the summit of Mount Everest. They choose that time because of the heat in the summer
(June – September) causes many storms, and a lot of rain. They do not go in the winter because it is too cold
so they can catch hypothermia or frostbite. It is important that the climber chooses his/her timings right if
 he/she wants to climb Mount Everest.

                Mount Everest gets a lot of visitors; therefore there are good things and bad things.
 The downfall is the amount of trees getting cut down. The tourists want/require firewood, therefore they must
 cut down the trees in order to get it. Because of this the government is protecting the ecosystem around Everest.
 As well, it shows that Everest is extremely popular, and if they added a toll booth they could make some money,
 and since when does money not benefit others?

                Another main casualty is caused by falling. This is why the climber must always bring a rope to
ensure he/she does not fall to his/her death. You bring the rope to the ground and pin it down as you group.
 As well you must clip yourself to the rope. Therefore if the climber slips and falls, he/she has a rope he/she
is clipped to to ensure that he/she does not fall.

                Mount Everest is a fascinating place where dreams come true, and where tourists come to see
from around the world. Mount Everest is not looked at as just a mountain, but the tallest mountain in the world.
 Mount Everest is so popular they even have a theme park ride for it. Be sure to bring all the required material

when climbing.

Forest Of Nepal

The Importance of Forests:

Nepal’s forests cover about 23% of total geographical area of the country. Forests play a vital role
 in the economy of the country. They give fuel wood to poor people for cooking purpose.
Forests also provide material for industry. Those who build houses get timer for house building and
for various other purposes. Besides forests please the attracts rains and stops erosion of the soil.
Evergreen forests are found where the rainfall is heavy. There are such forests in the hard wood such
 as teak rose wood and bamboos. The monsoon forests are found in large areas of Deccan plateau. They
 provide teak, shal, sandalwood etc. The hill forests found at places above 500 feet above include the
best timber and other trees. In recent years, lakhs of fast growing eucalyptus trees have been planted
along the roadside to attract rain.
Nepal’s forest wealth has been reduced as a result of senseless cutting of trees. People need firewood.
 Even official agencies clear vast jungle areas for constructing dams, roads and buildings. The axe and
 bulldozer have been in common use. Grazing causes another problem in large parts of the country. So the
annual rate of the loss of forests is a serious threat to the country’s economy.
Nobody would be able to escape adverse effect of this destruction. The disappearance of forests results
in changing rainfall pattern and causing drought conditions in large areas. There is a report that about
25 per cent of all the drugs are derived from trees. Trees also yield vital industrial oils, resins and dyes.
Now we understand the importance of forests in the country’s economy. We also realize their value in
 maintaining the ecological balance. Now the government tries to save the forest land and reserve forest
 in the country. But the destruction of forests continues lakhs of fresh trees are planted every year in
Nepal but they perish, for lack of care.
We get many things from the forests. They include bamboos of different kinds. We get grasses of various
 types. Medical plants gum and lac are provided by forests. It is also widely used for medicines.
 In Nepal there are over 20000 types of medicinal plants. So forests are of great value. They deserve

much greater practical attention than they are getting now.

Why should we save forest ?

We should save forests as a protection against floods and famines. Forests prevent floods and reduce

 soil erosion by regulating the flow of water.
Adequate forest cover also ensures a sustainable and safe environment. Forest helps in increasing
the humidity of the air and cause greater rainfall.
They also help in increasing the soil fertility. They protect the adjoining crops by reducing the
velocity of the storms.

How to save forest?

We can Save forests stopping the cutting of trees (stop deforestation), establishing new forests
 (afforestation) and reestablishing old forests (reforestation).

We can save the forests through a balanced comprehensive and well-thought out plan.

Fresh trees should be planted and in this way the trees that are cut should be replaced.
Planting of trees should be a constant progress.
Besides, trees that are planted must be of the right type. They should be such that can prevent
 soil erosion, check floods, and air pollution.
They should also be such that grow and mature rapidly and whose wood can be used for the purpose
of construction and for making furniture, etc.
New varieties of trees should be developed to achieve these ends.
Grass and fodder should be grown near the fields in which the people work so that they may use them
 easily according to their need.

Planned afforestation should be undertaken in needed areas.

WildLife

Essay on Wildlife

Like forests, wildlife is also a national resource, which not only helps in maintaining the ecological
 balance but is also beneficial from economic, recreational and aesthetic points of view. There was a
time when human interference was minimum the number of wild animals was quite high and there was no
 problem of their protection or conservation. But, with the expansion of agriculture, settlement,
 industrial and other developmental activities and mainly due to greed of man, the number of wild animals
 gradually became lesser and lesser. With the result that several species of animals have become extinct
and several, others are on the verge of being so.


Deforestation is also one of the main reasons for the loss of wildlife. Mass killings of wild animals for
 their meat, bones, fur, teeth, hair, skin, etc., are going on throughout the world. Therefore, the need
for wildlife conservation has now become a necessity.

Population growth, expansion of agriculture and livestock raising building of cities and roads, and pollution
are among the many pressures on the natural habitat of wildlife. Along with illegal hunting, habitat reduction
 and its degradation has threatened the bio-diversity of the regions where these are rampant.

Preservation of wildlife does not mean a blanket protection to all faunal and floral species; rather,
it implies a proper, judicious control over the multiplication of plants and animals, which interact
 together to provide a proper environment to man whose very existence is in peril today.

Due to the irrational use of natural and biotic resources of the earth in the past, most of the wildlife
 has been destroyed beyond retrieval. It is our urgent duty to protect the natural splendor of ecosystems
and to evolve a system of co-existence with every living creature upon the earth.

Although must countries of the world are very particular regarding conservation of wildlife, the number
of wild animals is reducing day by day. World Wild Life Fund is the international agency, which is doing
commendable work in promoting the protection of wildlife. There are national agencies also engaged in the

conservation of wildlife.

Some steps in the direction of wildlife conservation could be as follows:
(i) To survey and collect all the information about wildlife, especially, their number and growth.

(ii) To protect habitat by protecting forests.

(iii) To delimit the areas of their natural habitat.

(iv) To protect wildlife from pollution and from natural hazards.

(v) To impose complete restriction on hunting and capturing of wildlife.

(vi) To impose restrictions on export and import of wildlife products and severe punishment to be given
 to those who indulge in this activity.

(vii) To develop game sanctuaries for specific wild animals or for general world life.

(viii) To make special arrangements to protect those species whose number is very limited.

(ix) To develop general awareness at national and international level regarding protection of wildlife.


(x) To adopt a system of wildlife management through trained personnel.



India is a good example where several steps have been taken for wildlife conservation. It is a country of
 varied wildlife, where more than 500 types of wild animals, 2,100 types of birds and about 20,000 types
of reptiles and fishes have been found. According to an estimate, in India, about 200 species of wild animals
and birds have already become extinct and another 2,500 are on the verge of extinction.

Some of them are black buck, chinkara, wolf, swamp deer, nilgai, Indian gazelle, antelope, tiger, rhinoceros,
 gir lion, crocodile, flamingo, pelican, bustard, white crane, grey heron, mountain quail, etc. In India, the
government and NGOs are taking keen interest in the protection of wildlife. The Wild Life Protection Act, 1972
 has several provisions for the conservation of wildlife.

As many as 165 game sanctuaries and 21 national parks have been developed to protect the natural habitat and
wild animals. Apart from this, a Wild Life Conservation Week is also celebrated from 7th of October every year.
But still there is a long way to go in this direction.
