A call for sustainable solutions to preserve Nepal’s fragile landscapes

Born and raised in a small village nestled in the hilly regions beneath the Chure Hills in Nepal’s Far Western region, I have spent over eight years working in the livelihood and agriculture sector, focusing on monitoring, evaluation, and learning activities. Throughout my travels across Nepal’s hills, high hills, and mountains, I have witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of environmental degradation.

Landslides, erosion, and the accumulation of debris have become disturbingly common, transforming our once-stable landscapes into shaky terrains.
