Landscapes in Nepal

Nepal possesses a phenomenal landscape, from the flatland to the tallest mountains in the world. It’s diverse geography and climate support significant biodiversity and the country is rich in natural resources, as well as having significant potential for hydro power. However, while Nepal is largely dependent upon traditional and labor-intensive agricultural practices, soil remains subject to erosion, forests are destroyed and landslides pervade. The current yield from traditional agricultural practices is not enough to feed the growing population. Without intervention and positive leadership, Nepal’s people remain ignorant of environmental issues.
