Nepal is a diverse nation with magnificent snow-capped mountains to the north, hot tropical plains to the south, dramatic landscapes, and spectacular wildlife. Chitwan National Park alone hosts more than 700 species of wildlife including leopards and Bengal tigers. It is also home to an array of cultures united by a close relationship with nature but insulated from much of the socioeconomic development of urban regions and are therefore subject to far greater environmental hazards and high levels of inequality. This project is managed by Eden Reforestation Projects and was created in 2015 to help improve local livelihoods and restore forests in areas of critical importance. Eden works with both native reforestation species and agroforestry species to support local communities with additional income for food, clothing, house maintenance, medical treatments, and schooling. The planting sites are located in upland areas on steeper terrain located around Community Forests in the mountainous Nawalparasi District, along lowland alluvial plains in the Jhapa, Rautahat, and Morang Districts, and around Chitwan National Park as a means of developing a buffer zone around this national biodiversity treasure.
