On #WorldEnvironmentDay2023 read how GLOW’s Economic Empowerment of Women Through Forest Solutions is beating plastic waste.
It’s working with Nepali women to improve livelihoods by turning leaves into eco-friendly plastic alternatives.

Biodiversity rich Jalthal forest is threatned by invasive plant species (IAS). Controlling IAS is key strategy of forest restoration. We supported IAS removal in 35 spots covering 150 hectare degraded forest & engaging over 2500 man days work @UKBCFs @TheBotanics @forestactionNP

Widening roads, and adding flyovers don't solve the problem.
People will eventually buy vehicles and fill them.

Facilitating bottom-up/locally-owned multistakeholder restoration planning!Today, we organised a restoration planning workshop in Bishal community forest. The forest is severely degraded due to past land use & biologicainvasion @UKBCFs @TheBotanics @forestactionNP @lilansharma

Invasive alien species (IAS) are a threat to environment across scales! Mimosa diplotricha an IAS introduced in Nepal 3 decades ago remained unnoticed for a long. @Darwin_Defra project first reported the species 2 yrs back & now the action is in place to contain it @TheBotanics

ALT The origin and early development of community forestry in Nepal: A webinar with pioneers and early advocates This webinar: i) brings together four of the early proponents / advocates of community forestry in Nepal with a view to foster intergenerational learning on the history and evolution of community forestry across the Himalayan region; and ii) will capture reflections of pioneers around questions of setting visionary policy direction and how that direction can be pursued through necessary adaptation and learning in the changing context.

Discussing the ecological damamge and economic loss caused by invasive species and management options with Forest user group leaders! Sadly, the loss is much higher than we thought! Hopefully, a clear picture will be there in a months time @Darwin_Defra!

Participants of one-day interaction program on ' wild edibles of biodiversity-rich Jalthal forest'. locals listed over 50 wild edibles! Many of the valuable species are dwindling in their abundance @Darwin_Defra !

a two days training on forest management and 'management plan' was organised at Jalthal. This was the third event in a series of four trainings ! 20 participants from 6 CFUGs attended the program @Darwin_Defra .

Otherwise, it would be straight!
We often say that invasive alien species affect native biodiversity largely referring to species richness/community structure. How IAS affect Individual fitness is often an overlooked aspect of invasion ecology.
Distorted cycas! @Darwin_Defra
