Abstract:

Though the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve was established for the protection of wild water buffalo, there are other mammals in and around of it due to the presence of different type of habitats like rivers, oxbow lakes, seepage stream, marshlands, floodplains, ponds, swamp forest etc. This paper deals with the study of mammals in and around of Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve. Altogether 21 species of mammals belonging to 19 genera and 13 families were found during the study period. Among these 3 occurred commonly, 11 rarely and 7 occasionally at local level.DOI: 10.3126/on.v8i1.4336

Abstract:

In and around Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, Eastern Nepal Grantee: Bharat Raj Subba The Lesser Adjutant Stork (Leptoptilos javanicus), one of the eight species of storks found in Nepal, is globally threatened. The overall objective of the project is to ensure that the populations of Lesser Adjutant Stork found in the human-dominated landscape of eastern Nepal are conserved and the threats to their survival reduced. The study will determine the breeding success of the species in and around the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, document current threats and develop an awareness campaign for its survival. The project is funded by CEPF and WWF.

Abstract:

Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve and its associated wetlands including Saptakoshi River are important wetland habitats for the critically endangered Wild Water Buffalos (Bubalus bubalis arnee), Migratory Birds and River Dolphins (Platanista gangetica). Rapid and complete inundation of the Reserve during monsoon and frequent changes in river courses almost every year has been the biggest threat to the existence of wild buffalo (locally known as 'Arna') and other wildlife. The breach of eastern embankment of the Koshi barrage at Kusaha of Sunsari district on 18th August 2008, created havoc for wildlife and their habitats, people’s livelihood and welfare. A study was therefore conducted to ascertain the status of biodiversity within Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve and its Buffer Zone from March to November 2009 to come up with the status of Arna, dolphins, marsh mugger crocodile, Swamp francolin (Simtitra), and vulture population and assess the ecological status of wetlands. Direct count method, transect method, point counts, qualitative samplings, field observation and social survey were carried out to study the biodiversity status. A total of 219 wild water buffalo, 11 dolphins, 5 marsh mugger crocodiles, 52 to 74 Swamp francolin and 517 vultures. The studied wetlands were moderately polluted. Altogether 42 taxa of benthic macro invertebrates were recorded. The results were further compared with a few years of data before the flood occurrence. The current result showed an encouraging population of key species at the Reserve but the threats for conservation still remain challenging.

Abstract:

Present survey was carried out from April 16th to December 15th of 2009 with a view to assess the key faunal species of Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve such as Birds, Gangetic Dolphin, Wild water buffalo, different species of fish and their habitats after Koshi flood disaster 2008. Several trips were made within the KTWR using boat for surveying dolphin census, to make checklist of birds and fishes and to study wild water buffalo status. Among 120 species of birds belonging to 44 families and 103 genera were sighted, 27 species were found as winter visitor, 4 species as summer visitor and 89 species as resident birds. The census of Gangetic Dolphin was conducted in the Koshi river course starting from Rajabas to Koshi Barrage (36 km) in November-December 2009. The census concluded with a sighting of 6 dolphins in the river section north of Koshi Barrage upto Rajabas and 5 dolphins in the downstream of Koshi Barrage. The status of wild water buffalo was also studied in different areas of KTWR. Regular collection of fish enlisted 64 species belonging to 15 families and 40 genera.

Abstract:

Tourism is forefront of many economy but come with negative externalities resulting in diminished environmental quality. In place of these mass tourism practices, different alternative forms of tourism are practiced with aim of enhancing positive externalities while keeping check and balance to negative externalities. Ecotourism is one such approach which is often highlighted as one of the most effective tool to reconcile the conservation and development aspiration. Ecotourism in its different localized version and their impacts on environment are studied in Nepal. Despite this, ecotourism potential of protected areas is less explored dimension in ecotourism studies. This holds true for the eastern region of the lowland Nepal. Location of destination, features of that destination along with the facilities and uniqueness offered by the place is different which are vital in defining the ecotourism potential of different locations. The study forms the basis for promotion of ecotourism in an area. This paper aims to explore the ecotourism potential of Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve. There are different tools and approach used to assess the ecotourism potential. This paper contains information collected from field observation, scheduled interview and key informant interview. Wild Water Buffalo, migratory birds along with the presence of other wildlife species make a place attractive destination for ecotourism. Satisfaction shown by the respondents for food, accommodation and hospitality offered adds value to the ecotourism potential. Areas with high scenic and cultural attraction in the vicinity of the park can be considered as positive additionally to attract tourist with diverse interest. As it is considered mandatory to include the component of education and interpretation to qualify as ecotourism, development and execution of the curriculum are essential. Beside this, exploration and marketing of other potential destination and enabling the local communities are equally vital.

Journal of Threatened Taxa 12, no. 9 (June 26, 2020): 16006–12. http://dx.doi.org/10.11609/jott.4832.12.9.16006-16012.

Abstract:

The Bengal Florican is one of the rarest bustard species and is listed ‘Critically Endangered’ by the IUCN. The species is restricted to the lowland grasslands of India, Nepal, and Cambodia with fewer than 1,000 mature individuals. To assess the species status in Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, Nepal, we repeated our first comprehensive survey conducted during the 2012 breeding season. In spite of a larger area coverage we recorded only 41 adult Bengal Floricans in 2017 compared to 47 individuals in 2012. Detectability of this rare species is low in its Imperata-Saccharum grasslands. We, therefore, used a long pole with black and white clothing to mimic Bengal Florican’s display flight to stimulate male Bengal Florican. The number of adult males recorded was the same as in the 2012 survey and the adult male density remains one of the highest in the Indian subcontinent. Management recommendations for the long-term conservation of the species in Koshi Tappu include maintenance of Imperata-Saccharum grasslands in the reserve favoured by the Bengal Florican and working with farmers and communities adjacent to the reserve where the birds breed in order to maintain some agricultural lands with vegetation height suitable for the species especially during the species’ breeding season.

Abstract:

Bubalus bubalis arnee is an endangered species and is among one of the protected animals in Nepal. The present study was undertaken to identify the threats to wild buffaloes, to study their habitat and people perception towards them. To know the perception of the local people towards wild buffalo questionnaire survey was carried out in 5 adjoining eastern VDCs of Sunsari district of Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve. The major reason for conflict between local people and reserve were crop damage, human causalities and no proper compensation for their losses. Major conservation threats of wild water buffaloes were, in-breeding and cross-breeding, illegal collection of natural resources from the reserve, competition with domestic buffaloes for resource inside the reserve, park people conflict and flooding.
