Information on the Need for Promotion of Bio-Resources Conservation in Nepal’s Environmental Sanitation Sector

Abstract

Nepal is rich in ecological, socio-cultural and economical diversity. Its topographic features range from about 70m from mean Sea level to 8000+ m with snow covered mountains in the Great Himalayan Region. So is the variation in the ecology and natural systems. Within a limit of about 200 KMs we can experience vast differences in the ecological and the socio-cultural systems. Within such an array of diversities, the economy is trying to get improved and get out of the poverty trap of about 30% of its population still living below 1 USD per day.
