Use it, Don’t Lose It

Did you know that our daily lives are a for biodiversity loss, and the effects of climate change, such as warmer weather, unseasonal rainfall, and dusty spells? In general, most people think that it is only industries and factories that affect the environment and the variety of plants in the ecosystem. They forget to take into account that farming and animal husbandry, and our daily life, are also another cause of environmental damage. Because everything uses up land, water and air, the impact on the environment and human life, as well as biodiversity, will increase exponentially. All human activities can unknowingly affect and destroy biodiversity, including climate.

Nature, Food System and Ecosystem

I have been teaching in one of the most marginalized, poor, and economically deprived communities in Dhading district of Nepal. Around 65 % of the population consists of extremely poor and backward communities of Chepang, Magar, Gurung, and Tamang ethnic groups. I worked in the community to promote cultural diversity. I taught secondary level kids of the communities and provide them several exposure and opportunities. I engaged the kids and their guardians in tree plantation, commercialization of farms, income generation and other economic activities.
