The National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1973, Forest Act, 1993 and subsequent regulations have been effective policy instruments for biodiversity conservation. Nepal is also a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), 1992 and has submitted five reports to the CBD. In an effort to promote biodiversity conservation, Nepal has prepared the National Conservation Strategy, 1988, Nepal Biodiversity Strategy, 2002 and its implementation plan 2006. The National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan 2014 has been prepared with a vision of “conservation of biodiversity for sound and resilient ecosystems and national prosperity”. These acts are our base for the mentioned issue.
