Abstract

The human-wildlife conflict (HWC) has always been a subject of concern for conservationists and people living in the proximity of forests. Nepal has witnessed increasing incidents of HWC at an alarming rate in the last few years. The study was carried out to understand the causes and trends of HWC in Kailari Rural Municipality and the perception of people towards wildlife conservation. The major tools used for the data collection were key informant interviews and questionnaire surveys. The data collected from the field was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. This study showed that crop plundering, human injuries & death, livestock injuries, and killing by wildlife was the common form of HWC and the animals with high incidents of conflict were a monkey, wild boar, elephant, tiger, blue bull, deer, and rabbit in recent years. The main crops damaged in the area were wheat, paddy, maize, peanuts, mustard, etc. The problematic animals were found to be monkeys, rabbits, and wild boars. The study concluded that tigers and elephants attack were the major problems in the areas near Dudhwa National Park (India). None of the respondents have got compensation for the loss of crops, livestock, and even in case of human casualties. Most of the respondents believed that animals come to the cropland due to farmland nearer to forest areas and lack of food for the animals.

Abstract

One of the world's most appealing species is the Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens). Red pandas were earlier extensively distributed around Eurasia, but they're still only found in Nepal, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, and China. The pandas had a high fatality rate and minimal reproduction (usually one cub/female/year). The red panda is the only species of its kind in the world that is still living in the inaccessible Tibetan cultural sites including Langtang and other Himalayan slopes, rendering its protection vital to the preservation of Nepal's natural assets and the world's biodiversity. The purpose of this article is to describe the status, distribution, and threats of red pandas in Nepal which could be a turning point for carrying out additional studies and red panda conservation. Various articles, books, and reports that were published between 1979 and 2021 were evaluated for this purpose using Google Scholar, Research Gate, etc. For the review, we pursued 59 pieces of paper. Despite being extremely vital from preservation, technical, and socioeconomic basis, this species has seen a drop in its wild population. Globally there are less than 10,000 individuals left and in Nepal, there are about 317-552 individuals. Natural hazards also pose a risk to the habitat of exotic species like the Red Panda, in addition to human expansion, infrastructure development, scenic spots, habitat alteration, and modes of interaction.
