AIM OF THE PROJECT
1. To show the present status of species to the world in Nepal.
2. To declare the problems of the species found in Nepal.
3. To show about the security provided to the species.
4. To encourage people to try their best to accomplish their
responsibilities towards endangered species.
 To get support from the world community to help them
sustain.

 Endangered Species
From 1950 to 1980 Nepal lost half of its forest cover to make room for
its population that had doubled during the period. Today, less than
30% of the total land is covered by forests. Moreover, the practise of
subsistence farming has put great pressure on the forest lands and
wild animals. These, accompanied by the increasing problems of
poaching have meant that several species of animals have become
endangered.
 Panthera Tigris
Tigers and leopards are killed for their superb coats and bones. The
bones are used in Chinese and Japanese traditional medicine. There
is a rising demand for tiger related goods. Tiger skins and bones are
in strong demand. Poachers and smugglers have established a clever
route by which tigers surface in the form of medicines and balms in
Chinese markets as Chinese "medicine". Not a year goes by without
stories of seizures of bones and skins by customs officials. But these
seizures are only the tip of the iceberg and the poaching still
continues.
 Musk
Deer
Musk deer are hunted for musk, a powdery substance which
the male musk deer secretes from a gland in the abdomen.
This is a highly valued item for perfumes and medicines.
Chinese use the musk as a folk medicine and believe it has
aphrodisiac properties.
 One-horned Rhinoceros Himalayan Black Bear
The Himalayan Black Bear is also endangered. The animals
are killed for their gall bladder, which provides the ingredients
of one of the most coveted oriental medicines.
 Other endangered species include the one-horned
Rhinoceros, the Wild Water Buffalo, Swamp Deer, Pygmy
Hog, Wild Elephant, Hispid Hare, Wild Yak, Snow Leopard,
Red Panda and the Gharial Crocodile.
 WAYS TO PRESERVE THE ENDANGERED
SPECIES IN NEPAL
 Organizations like Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund have
dedicated themselves to preserve the earth and its ecology.
Many volunteers join organizations like these and work for the
environment. We can find some international/local
organizations like these and join them.
 Boycott fur coats and medicines made from rare animals.
Boycott ornaments made from ivory and staff like this. Baby
seals are murdered for their skin, as it is used to make
expensive coats- don’t bye them.
 We should try to raise awareness amongst local people. Apart
from face to face interaction, the best way to do so is blogging.
Blog about endangered animals and what we can do to help
them.
 Recycle and reuse. It will reduce the need to have more raw
materials to produce something. As a result a lot of trees will
be spared and wild animals’ habitat will be undisturbed.
 Governments should come forward to create more safe zones
and national parks for wild animals where they will be able to
move freely without worrying about hunters and poachers.
Governments should apply strict laws to stop poaching.
 Donate money or trees to different non-profit organizations
which work to protect the wildlife.
