Rhino conservation and a call to stop illegal wildlife trade were at the center of the celebrations of the 4th National Conservation Day organized today under the leadership of the Government of Nepal.

To coincide with the International Year of the Rhino, the theme for this year?s event was ?Stop the Trade: Save the Rhino? in order to highlight the immediate threats to rhinos in Nepal and the need to take collective action to combat poaching and illegal wildlife trade to protect this magnificent species. Mr. Yadu Bansha Jha, Honorable Minister for Forests and Soil Conservation, was the Chief Guest of the event, which was chaired by Dr. Krishna Chandra Paudel, Secretary of the Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Yadu Bansha Jha, Honorable Minister for Forests and Soil Conservation stated that the Government of Nepal was committed to escalating its efforts in building a better future for rhinos. ?National institutions such as the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau, improved security and protection measures in the national parks, enhanced trans-boundary and regional cooperation, and effective partnerships with conservation agencies and local communities form the primary pillars in putting a stop to wildlife crimes in Nepal,? he added.

After this article i want to tell something about these two pictures taken from Nepal.Fig-1, tell us about that "save the earth save the environment " should be start from the children.A small child loves very much the rhino and want to keep this with her and this thought should be developed by everyone.children are the base for change in the world because children are the soil because as we know that soil can be change in to different shapes,sizes,kinds and types of arts,materials etc through manipulation which is in the welfare of human,like wise children can play role for the welfare of the whole world.If we learn them to save environment and conserve nature. They always keep in mind that we should not have destroy the environment and tell many people of their family.Children make family aware of this,family-family make the community aware of this,community community make the country aware of this and country country make the whole world aware of this.So we should have start new innovative activity from children that only be the effective.I am to much thankful to the Tunza Eco generation  this action which is really effective.Again i want to thank Samsung engineering and UNEP,for conducting such types of activities at children level.Really the world can be change through the both children and the Youth not only through youth nor the children.
