Besides mountains, there are various wildlife sanctuaries and national parks in Nepal. The Chitwan National Park is the most famous national park of Nepal. Some other famous wildlife sanctuaries and national parks in Nepal are Annapurna Conservation Area, Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve, Kanchanjunga Conservation Area, Sagarmatha National Park, Royal Bardia National Park, Langtang National Park, Rara National Park, Shey-Phoksundo National Park, Makalu-Barun National Park, Royal Shukla Phanta Wildlife Reserve and Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve.

WWF is tackling these problems with some of the most ambitious programs in its history. In India and Nepal's Terai grasslands, a 50-year plan known as the Terai Arc aims to restore and reconnect the 11 national parks and protected areas with forest corridors to allow rhinos, tigers, elephants and people to thrive. In the Kangchenjunga Conservation Area Project, women are forming leadership, literacy and income-generating groups to achieve long-term conservation results.

Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP)

The King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation launched  the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP), the first and largest conservation area in Nepal, covering 7,629 sq. km in 1986 as an innovative concept in the protected area management system of the country. The conservation area embraces a multiple land use principles of resource management that combines environmental protection with sustainable community development. Traditional subsistence activities are woven into a framework of sound resource management, supplemented by conservation, development and alternative energy programmes to minimize the negative impacts of tourism and enhance the living standards of the local people.

World Wildlife Fund's Tiger Conservation Strategy

Despite the best efforts of conservation groups and governments, tigers still struggle to survive. After four years of careful study and analysis to determine where tigers have the best chance of survival, World Wildlife Fund embarked on a new conservation strategy in 2002.

The brother of King Birenda warned today that a paper mill that China helped build threatens rare crocodiles, dolphins and the fabled Bengal tiger.

Prince Gyanedrnra, head of a non-profit trust to protect the environment, warned that the pulp mill could pollute the Nayrani River and endanger a nearby royal reserve - once a hunting ground for the British rulers of colonial India.

Despite the warning, King Birenda is scheduled to inaugurate the plant Thursday in the presence of China's Minister for Light Industry, Yang Bo.

The Prince called on the Government to take ''urgent appropriate measures before it is too late'' to protect the Gharial crocodiles, Gangetic dolphins and Bengal tiger.

Forests in Bangladesh are declining at an alarming rate. An estimated 73 000 ha of forests was lost due to encroachment for agriculture and aquaculture by the year 1980. Some species are disappearing fast and are considered as threatened. A total of 19 tree species and nine rattan species need immediate conservation measures (Khan 1996). The on-going loss of germplasm is a threat to FGR. High population pressure on land, clearing of forests, exploitation, draining and filling of wetlands, introduction of exotic species, introduction of improved genotypes, pests, improper silvicultural techniques and management and lack of public awareness are some of the major threats to FGR. Poverty and the attitude of the people towards exploitation of natural habitats of plants as free goods also contribute to the loss of germplasm in the country.

The destruction of forests by shifting cultivation is another problem in Bangladesh. The forests are cut and cultivated for a short time only, and when the residual nutrients in the soil are leached as a result of erosion removing the topsoil, the shifting cultivators move to another location.

The country has four wild gymnosperms, viz. Cycas pectinata, Gnetum scandens, G. funiculare and Podocarpus nerifolia. C. pectinata is regionally threatened and the two Gnetum species have become very rare while the populations of P. nerifolia are much depleted. Immediate appropriate conservation measures are needed to protect these species in the country. Khan (1996) reported that the number of plant species threatened in the country is 45. Among mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, 15 species have become extinct and 33 species are endangered. According to the Government of Bangladesh (GOB 1992), there are 27 threatened and 39 endangered species of wildlife in Bangladesh at present.
