Nepal

Nepal is often thought of as a mountainous country, renowned for being home to the highest peak on Earth and attracting mountain climbing enthusiasts from all over the world.

However, it is little known that Nepal was once covered in dense jungle.

30%


Tragically, only 30% of Nepal's original forests now remain.
Nestled between the two giants of India and China, Nepal is steeped in culture and home to a fascinating population, shaped by a rich history and religion.

81%


81% of Nepalese people rely solely on agriculture and forestry to survive. With dwindling resources this is causing a nationwide economic crisis, forcing many living in rural areas to migrate or live on barren lands.
Deforestation in Nepal is not caused
​by outside exploitation.
​Instead the problem results from acute and growing pressure on the land.

The Nepalese people rely on trees for fuel, fodder, grazing, shelter and income. However, when land that once supported healthy regenerating forests is depleted, the locals have to move further afield to source these materials and so the downwards environmental cycle continues.
Deforestation in Nepal has left much land barren, pushing wildlife into what retreating forests remain. 70 species are now on the endangered list including: 

Asian Elephant
Bengal Tiger
Red Panda
Snow  Leopard

We plant our trees in Nepal through Eden Reforestation Projects, who have been planting here since 2015.

The projects in Nepal are spread across three distinct regions:

The Mountains - Nawalparasi
Located in the western region of Nepal, an area prone to landslides, the trees planted in this project help anchor the soil, protecting the villages from environmental disasters.

The Grasslands - Jhapa
Located along the south eastern tip of Nepal, bordering India, here we are supporting local villagers and community leaders to restore previously forested land in this now barren region.

The National Park - Chitwan National Park
Chitwan National Park is home to some of Nepal's most endangered species. The last population of the One-Horned Asian Rhinoceros lives within its forests and it's one of the last hunting grounds for Bengal Tigers. Working with Eden Reforestation Projects and the National Park, we are helping to create a reforested buffer zone - restoring, expanding
​and protecting vital animal habitat.

There is even more encouraging news to share.
It has been a long time since wildlife was part of the day to day lives of the local community members.
​As the forests disappeared, so did the animals.
However, in restoring the forests, biodiversity is returning once more.
​Even the elephants have returned to the planting sites in and near Jhapa,
​​leaving fresh tracks and other tell-tale deposits.
