Abstract

Striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena) is a member of the Hyaenidae family distributed globally from Africa to Central Tanzania, the Arabian Peninsula, Turkey, Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent including Nepal. Only a few documented studies have been carried out at a national as well as international level regarding their habit, habitat, threats, and conservation measures. Various open access works of literature including articles, reports, and books published from 1941 to 2021 were assessed through Google scholar and Research gate for this study. We searched, refined, and selected 42 pieces of literature for the study purpose. We found that striped hyenas were recorded from five national parks of lowland Terai regions and they were recorded in six districts lying outside the protected area in Central and Western Terai as well as the hilly region of Nepal. Habitat degradation, decreased prey population, retaliatory killing by poisoning, poaching and road kills are found to be the major threats to these endangered scavengers that require immediate conservation initiatives We believe that this manuscript can fulfill the knowledge gap on this species and suggests conservation initiatives, which could be a landmark for conducting further research and conservation of striped hyenas.

Abstract

Understanding changes in Land Use Land Cover (LULC) is essential for managing and monitoring natural resources and development, particularly where urbanization is expanding. So, this study aimed to assess the level of changes in LULC of Nepalgunj Sub-metropolitan city using temporal Landsat satellite imageries of 1996, 2008, and 2020 AD, and the key drivers of LULC change were observed through a purposive household survey (N=140) with a sampling intensity of 0.5%. LULC maps were generated using initial unsupervised and later supervised classification. LULC changes were computed using the post-change detection classification technique. LULC map of 1996 AD, 2008 AD, and 2020 AD showed accuracy of 84.44 %, 85.45%, and 83.64% with a kappa value of 0.8381, 0.8497, and 0.829 respectively. Bareland, Human buildup, and grassland were found to have increased by 13.34%, 5.07%, and 29.62% respectively while sparse vegetation, dense vegetation, and water bodies were found to have decreased by 44.10%, 17.82%, and 13.34% respectively between 1996 and 2008. Likewise, there was decrease in grassland area (-26%), dense vegetation area (-9.48%), sparse vegetation area (-5%), water bodies (-0.12%), and increase in Bareland (+20%) and Human buildup (+20.6%) in between 2008 to 2020. Eight key drivers of LULC, development of infrastructure, government policy, plans, and land market, forest encroachment, forest, and its products, political condition, economic opportunities, and hotel and tourism activities, were recognized in the study area. Further research is required to determine the specific ramifications of the aforementioned LULC change drivers, as well as the area's long-term viability.
