Govt releases fund for conservation
A decade of armed-conflict wreaked havoc on government conservation efforts, especially in protected areas. However, with the end of insurgency, concerned stakeholders are strengthening conservation efforts, said officials. Laxmi Prasad Manandhar, chief education officer at Department of National Park and Wildlife Conservation (DNPWC), said that the National Planning Commission, through Ministry of Peace and Reconstruction (MoPR) and DNPWC, has released more than Rs 10 million for reconstruction of infrastructure destroyed during the insurgency.
