This resource focuses on deforestation in Nepal, covering its causes, consequences, and the geographical context of the region. It begins with an overview of deforestation, defining it as the permanent clearing of trees for alternative land uses such as agriculture or timber. Students will explore the unique characteristics of Nepal's landscape, especially its stark transition from the Terai plains to the Himalayan peaks. The importance of forests is highlighted with the saying 'Hariyo Ban, Nepal ko Dhan' (Green forests are Nepal’s wealth), emphasizing their role in maintaining ecological balance. Through guided analysis, students will investigate the human activities driving deforestation, such as expanding agriculture and wood collection, and their environmental impacts. Reflection activities encourage learners to connect these concepts to their own lives. Visual assets are provided for case study construction, promoting critical thinking about the relationship between human survival and forest health in rural Nepal.
