Description:
Due to the rapid deforestation, global warming, decreased biodiversity, soil erosion, and desertification are only some of the problems the whole world is suffering. As a developing country, Nepal is also can’t be an exception. The green forest of Nepal was considered as a treasure of income sources and slowly it’s being swept up.
The deforestation in Nepal is leading to shortages of animal fodder and firewood that affects agricultural based economy of the country. In response to this concern, our Environmental Awareness Program volunteers can work with the community forest development committee and promote the equitable and proper management of meager forest resources. Volunteers can also teach and lead the villagers to various environmental awareness programs, such as use of smokeless stoves, using solar energy as a fuel and waste management.
Volunteers will get involved with the local schools and local communities on environmental issues. Environmental awareness projects will be defined by the individual volunteers based-upon their areas of expertise and the needs of the village community. Example projects include: creating eco-clubs, plantation activities, kitchen/home gardening, waste management, recycling techniquies, making a smokeless stove, building a toilet pit, etc. Volunteers may also provide assistance to youth clubs or women's groups in the community sharing their ideas, skills and knowledge about environmental issues.
