A MEGA STEP TOWARDS FUTURE OF JANAKPUR

Blog, News Updates /

For the first time in the history, Janakpur is jeweled with the development which will bound regular tourists to spend more time and attract new tourists to the area. Several records show that Janakpur receives around 10 Lakh (One million) tourists every year. They visit Janaki temple in Janakpur and Dhanush temple at Dhanushadham and return back within no time lacking the tourism spot in the area. It is natural that if we visit a place for half an hour we carry fast food or readymade food with us instead of staying or having food in the hotels and restaurants at the place. Janakpur is facing the same. Instead of getting benefited, Janakpur is used as a dust bin to throw plastic bags or packing materials and food wastes carried with the tourist. One will be highly excited to know that the tourists visiting to Janakpur and Dhanushadham will be able to spend much time here. Animal enclosures are being constructed in the forest situated at Dhanushadham, near Dhanush temple (20 KM North–east from Janakpur). Snake enclosure and turtle enclosure is constructed as part of proposed Dhanushadham Biological Unit inside Dhanushadham Protected Forest. Though the plan has been approved by Government of Nepal in 2069 B.S. (2013 AD), it is unable to drag the attention of Government or other donor agencies. The development is being carried out with the small-small contributions from individuals of Dhanusha district, donations of Mithila Wildlife Trust and budget of Dhanushadham Protected Forest by Department of Forest, Government of Nepal. Some of the wild animals rescued by Mithila Wildlife Trust will be housed in the enclosures for exhibition where most of them are directly released in the wild. We believe that this will encourage local residents and tourist of the park to conserve wildlife. You are heartily invited to visit Dhanushadham Protected Forest and guide us through the developments. You can also contribute in the developments. Name plate will be attached with the development for your contributions. Let’s join together to develop Janakpur. Be a regular contributor in development of proposed Dhanushadham Biological Unit.

Blog, News Updates /

In the current financial year, we have received a program from Department of Forest, to clean shrub of 5 hectare area inside Dhanushadham Protected Forest. The aim is to clean shrubs of 5 hectare area and compare the natural germination and development of plant species in shrub clear and unclear area. There is countless germination of different plant species including Sal, Jamun, Amla, Siris, Sisam, Khayr and others. The above photo explains the natural germination power of this forest as other forests of Nepal. But, the fact is there is not even a single Two years or older tree, due to community made fire, over grazing and unmanaged mud cutting inside forest. Let’s hope that the conservation we have been able to provide to the forest with strong community support will be able to secure future of the forest. We are once again thanking the community people and stakeholders for their strong support and cooperation.
