FOSTERING HUMAN-ELEPHANT COEXISTENCE STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY TOLERANCE TOWARDS WILD ELEPHANTS IN THE CENTRAL CHURE-TERAI MADHESH LANDSCAPE OF NEPAL.
CONSERVING LARGE MAMMALS REQUIRING LARGE LANDSCAPE FOR RANGING AND DISPERSAL IN HUMAN DOMINATED LANDSCAPE IS BECOMING A DAUNTING TASK FOR NEPAL. CHURE TERAI MADHESH LANDSCAPE (CTML) OF NEPAL IS FRAGMENTED BUT STILL SUPPORTS VIABLE POPULATIONS OF ASIAN ELEPHANTS (230 RESIDENTIAL) TIGERS (355) AND RHINOCEROS (745) AND ALL THESE POPULATIONS ARE INCREASING. WITH INCREASING WILD ELEPHANT POPULATIONS IN CTML HUMAN ELEPHANT CONFLICT (HEC) IS ALSO ON RISE. TO MANAGE HEC AT LANDSCAPE LEVEL REQUIRES GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROBLEM AND CONCERTED EFFORTS WITH MULTISTAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT. IN 2023 TOTAL 12672 CASES OF HUMAN WILDLIFE CONFLICT (HWC) CASES RECORDED IN NEPAL AND 2058 WERE CAUSED BY WILD ELEPHANTS. OUT OF 274 HUMAN ATTACKS 44 WERE FROM WILD ELEPHANTS. THE CENTRAL CTML THAT INCLUDES CHITWAN AND PARSA NATIONAL PARKS OF NEPAL VALMIKI TIGER RESERVE OF INDIA AND CORRIDOR FORESTS SUPPORTS 80 WILD ELEPHANTS THAT INCREASED FROM 13 INDIVIDUALS IN 1980S. HABITAT FRAGMENTATION AND LOSS INCREASED INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND HUMAN POPULATION INCREMENT HAS FUELED HEC IN THE LANDSCAPE. HEC IN CENTRAL CTML HAS INCREASED ABRUPTLY IN THE RECENT YEARS. FOR EXAMPLE OUT OF 2058 HEC CASES 40 PERCENT WERE RECORDED IN CENTRAL CTML. HEC IS LARGELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE BEHAVIOR OF LOCAL PEOPLE TOWARDS ELEPHANTS AND RESPONSE CAPACITY

Prevention of Human Trafficking in Nepal
We will work with marginalized women and children of Makwanpur and Parsa district to prevent human trafficking and unsafe migration and raise mass awareness on these issues through mobilization of community groups called Surveillance Groups. Human Trafficking is one of the serious problems in Nepal. It is a means of exploitation of women and children by forcing them into the sex industry, domestic and factory labor, organ transplantation and illegal adoption.

REDUCING POACHING/IWT THREATS AND SUSTAINING THE GROWTH OF RHINOCEROS AND TIGER POPULATIONS IN CHITWAN-PARSA COMPLEX, NEPAL
The purpose of this project is to ensure long term survival and sustain the population growth of the.worlds second largest population of the greater one-horned rhinoceros and globally significant tiger.population in Chitwan-Parsa complex. The objectives are as follows: (1) reduce poaching threats through.community engagement: turning poachers into the conservationists; (2) improve rhino habitat through.active grassland and wetland management; (3) increase the growth rate through biological management.and close surveillance of rhinos; and (4) strengthen wildlife health capacity in Nepal for understanding.the rhino population health and causes of increased rhino mortality in recent years.

Terai Arc: Community stewardship to secure wildlife corridors and livelihoods
Protected areas in Nepal’s Terai Arc Landscape are fragmented, meaning recovering wildlife populations (like tiger and rhino) in Parsa National Park are pushed towards human settlements in surrounding buffer zones, increasing human-wildlife conflict, with particularly negative impacts for women and Indigenous communities disproportionately reliant on forest resources. This project will secure connectivity between protected areas and northern Shivalik hills using a corridor of community-managed forests; mitigate human-wildlife conflict; and reduce communities’ dependence on resources through diversified livelihoods and enhanced agroforestry.

Unlocking doors to basic health and education for children with Sensory disabilities in Bara and Parsa districts of Nepal
In Nepal children are not screened for visual or hearing impairments and knowledge of eye- and ear health is generally poor. Having a disability is still greatly stigmatised. Although the majority of children in Nepal have access to education, children with disabilties (CwD) are mostly excluded from it, which is a major risk for marginalisation. The project is a follow-up of a 2-year pilot in Bara district (2017-18), which will be extended in Bara and Parsa. The aim is to increase the enrollment of 3 to 14-year-old children with vision or hearing impairment in public schools. Districts have high rates of poverty and school attendance is very low. Also the human right's of CwD's are largely violated. The majority of pupils are boys, therefore, the project promotes girls' right to education. The project will educate female community health volunteers (FCHVs) to identify children with vision or hearing issues. The children identified through screening are examined at Eye & Ear Camps to diagnose the impairments found. It is estimated that the most of these impairments can be easily cured with simple treatments. Children with a severe visual or hearing disability will undergo a 4-6 month rehabilitation to enable life outside home and attending school. Awareness raising campaigns regarding eye- and ear health, as well as rights of persons with disabilities (PwD), will be organised among local citizens during the camps. Advocacy on inclusive education and human rights of CwD will be promoted. Eye & ear care and rehabilitation centers will be established in Bara. The local project partner is B. P. Eye Foundation (BPEF), that has 3 decades of experience in rehabilitation of CwDs and training of ophtalmologists and optometrists. For improved access to treatment and rehabilitation and to increase awareness on human rights, gender equality and inclusive education the project will strengthen the collaboration with other NGO's: IMPACT Nepal, Nepal Association for the Welfare of the Blind, Nepal Apanga Sewa sangh Bara and Loo Niva. A referral system will be developed with Patan CBR, to reach a larger scale of PwD's. In Finland we will collaborate with Interpedia ry.

CSF 15-22 Y3 PAYMENT 'DIGNITY FIRST - DEFEATING FEAR, FINDING
The aim of the project is to improve the health, well-being and dignity of people affected by leprosy or disability in four highly endemic districts in southern Nepal (Lalitpur, Bara, Parsa and Rautahat). Through the current project, TLMNI will seek to enhance the technical capacity of Government health workers and community health volunteers to identify, diagnose, treat, and manage leprosy and complications. It will bring vital hospital services directly to rural communities providing surgery and preventing further disability. In addition, it will help participants to build resilience through self-help groups with opportunities to develop climate resilient livelihoods and for meaningful engagement with local government on relevant issues. The key implementing partner, TLM-Nepal, is well established and works through government frameworks and in line with national and international policies. As part of the Leprosy Mission Global Fellowship, TLMNI has access to a network of global expertise on leprosy, enabling themmake high quality interventions that will contribute significantly towards eradicating leprosy in Nepal. The project’s multi pronged approach is gender and context sensitive. The strong focus on supporting women and girls and detailed climate impact analysis to help develop sustainable livelihood approaches is coherent with A Better World and the priority areas of gender equality and climate action.
