MONOCLED/MONOCELLATE COBRA (Naja kaouthia) IN DHANUSHA

MWT team rescued a Monocled/Monocellate Cobra in Mithileshwar Mauwahi, Dhanusha. The snake was hiding under steel tank using as Rice storage tank inside living room. The house owner saw a snake entering inside the house at late evening but suddenly it was disappearing. It took around 2 hours to search the snake inside the living room. This is our first rescue of this particular species extra than Naja naja, the most common venomous snake rescued. As always, we had explained the importance of snake in environment and ecosystem and took it to Dhanushadham Protected Forest. The rescue of Monocled cobra in Dhanusha is a live evidence that it is found in Dhanusha district of Nepal. Moreover, it is a juvenile. Thanks to the community people supporting us to save the life of this speechless lovely creature of the nature.

Blog, News Updates / July 2, 2014

Two days awareness training programme of “Climate Change and REDD+” to the members of Dhanushadham Protected Forest Management Committee was organized by Range Forest Office, Dhanushadham and facilitated by Mithila Wildlife Trust. The programme was divided in Two days and Eight session which was delivered by Assistant Forest Secretary, Mr. Ram Asheshwar Mandal and District Forest Officer, Mr. Birendra Sah. Around 30 participants were trained. Two days training on Climate Change and REDD+ is not enough but it added an extra spirit to the members to convince their own society with extra reason to protect Dhanushadham Protection Forest. The members are so enthusiastic that they were asking to organize such programme every month. Due to certain limitation we were unable to gather more participation but with help of recently trained members we are planning to organize such training programme in entire buffer zone communities. MWT along with DPF Management Committee members wish to thanks Mr. Ram Asheshwar Mandal and Mr. Birendra Sah for their valuable training and easy to understand training tools. It will definitely support us to reduce the Green House Gases Omissions and the negative impact of Climate Change.
