Promotion of Community Managed Development and land degradation mitigation of Chure Range for Enhanced Rural Livelihood of aborigines
Handikhola VDC, which is bufferzone of Parsa Wildlife Reserve, represents a typical fragile Chure landscape. Within the VDC, nearly 40 brooks arise during the monsoon from the Chure hills creating landslide at the upstream and stream bank cutting and deposition at the downstream. The menace is further aggravated by population pressure and improper land use.
Handikhola is a western VDC of Makawanpur which is linked with Chitwan National Park through buffer zone. The buffer zone comprises forest, low land and grassy land providing natural habitat for wild and endangered animals like tiger, rhino and elephant. As such, human and wildlife conflict also exit. It is also one of the 10 VDCs of socio-ecological production landscape initiated by COMDEKS.
The project tries to stabilize and control the menace of brooks, control soil erosion with proper landuse such as applying SALT, planting broomgrass and fruit trees and promoting renewable energy technology
