Though we were able to arrest a person who was really involved in this case was suppose to release in 24 hours as we didn’t got the removed tree and solid evidence against him. Around 36th hour we were able to collect the information from our informers about the logged  trees and when we reached there with full team, initially we were surprised about the matter, but when MWT  enforcement team and other forest  person searched in the water of nearby pond (Phokri), all the logged tree pieces were hidden inside the water. We removed all pieces from the water and uploaded in a tractor around night 9.30.pm. to DPF office. As the news spread that we recovered all the pieces of logged trees, many of the suspecting poachers vanished from their village.   This is an initiatiative taken by Courageous RFO Mr. Shankarnarayan Jah, MWT, and APF of Dhanusha, which nobody had initiated for last 25 years which made poachers and other peoples to exploit their natural resource in an unmanaged way. This is first time that within 48 hours all the reality of poachers and the incidents comes into public to be cautious in the future. This is really an appreciative work done by Nepal Forest Department , MWT and APF.

It is very worse to sight such a pathetic condition of a forest in Nepal terai region. Though this Protected Forest houses many wild flora and fauna, none other than Mithila wildlife trust step forward for the protection of this last and single patch of forest from terai region of Dhanusha district. Nepal Forest Dept., recently issued an order, that not to carry any iron materials or axe, or knives inside the forest. As this forest is without any boundary, all the community peoples depends their firewood from this forest, they usually peal the bark of the trees and  also fire below the trees which can cause complete wilting of trees in future. Un restricted and over grazing of cattles causes all the bushy plants and new seedlings not to upcome for their normal growth which inturn disturbs the habitat of wild rabbits , foxes, reptiles etc. Sand mining inside the forest causes uprooting of number of trees which is illegally used for firewood and for other buinding purposes in addition to illegal tree cut. MWT is struggling to reinstall and protect this natural habitat for the aesthetic Biodiversity of  Terai region of Nepal  which can be done only with  our and international helping hands.
