Nepal's Residents Adapt to Coexistence with Wildlife Amid Conservation Success

14 Ağustos 2026France 24
  • Nepal has emerged as a leader in wildlife conservation over the last fifty years, with nearly 20% of its land designated as protected areas. Successful anti-poaching initiatives have contributed to the recovery of species like the one-horned rhinoceros and the gharial crocodile.
  • However, this conservation success has led to complex challenges for local communities living alongside these wild animals.
  • Nepal's commitment to wildlife conservation is set against a backdrop of global biodiversity loss and the urgent need for effective environmental policies. The country's approach serves as a case study for balancing ecological preservation with the needs of local populations.
  • While Nepal's conservation efforts are commendable, they highlight a critical tension between wildlife protection and human livelihoods. As wildlife populations rebound, the risk of human-wildlife conflict increases, necessitating innovative strategies for coexistence.
