Parsa sanctuary builds artificial wetland An artificial wetland is being developed at Ramauli Pratappur of Parsa National Park to conserve wildlife. The park authority and Tarai Arc Landscape (TAL) Programme of the World Wildlife Fund have built a 345-metre long dam at Ramauli Pratappur to create a marsh land that would spread over an area of 200 bighas. Community conservation facilitator for TAL Bedhari Dahal said the dam will retain rain water and the water from other sources to create a wetland. Pratappur of Parsa National Park to conserve wildlife. The park authority and Tarai Arc Landscape (TAL) Programme of the World Wildlife Fund have built a 345-metre long dam at Ramauli Pratappur to create a marsh land that would spread over an area of 200 bighas. Community conservation facilitator for TAL Bedhari Dahal said the dam will retain rain water and the water from other sources to create a wetland. “Ramauli Pratappur has been developed as the core area of the national park. Various animals come here to graze or use it as a route to go to the Rapti River to drink water,” he said. The dam will also act as a barrier for wildlife, thus reducing the instances of human-wildlife conflict. Every now and then, the park animals have been found crossing the Rapti River and entering human settlements. “The dam will serve as a fence, stopping animals from venturing outside the park’s territory,” Dahal said. Around Rs 600,000 was spent to build the 10-feet high dam. TAL Programme had contributed Rs 500,000 and Manahari Consumers’ Group had donated Rs 119,000 to the project. Meanwhile, wildlife conservationists have urged the authorities concerned to build an underpass or a flyover along Syauli bio-corridor to ensure free movement of animals after the construction of Postal Highway in the area. The bio-corridor links Chitwan National Park and Parsa National Park of Nepal with Valmiki Tigers Reserve of India. Noting that the construction of Postal Highway will obstruct the movement of animals along the bio-corridor, conservationists have requested the authorities concerned to build Wildlife Bridge.

Hello Joon Ho Mentor
Namaste From Nepal
Yes you are correct it is cost effective and natural way to protect animals in their habitats. Flyovers and underpass are built but i have doubt, does animals really cross from them ?
Thank You for the Comment.

Hello Deepak!
I am glad to hear the news about the new artificial wetland!
I remember your previous report about the tragedy between human and crocodiles. I support the idea saving the wildlife both for human and other species. As you said protecting other species is a responsibility of human (The most intelligent).
The fact that dam can serve as a barrier of wildlife is brilliant and the idea of making a wetland by constructing dam is something that I couldn??t think of.
Thank you for sharing :)

Hello Deepak, interesting news to hear about :)
Flyover and underpass type of roads are allegedly known as 'ecofriendly' constructed structures and I once saw that in my town when I was young.
Though I did not get to see animals crossing it, I got to find out animals in the different side of the river, which means that they successfully crossed the river without getting drowned or getting roadkill.
It may require more complex forms of approaches and pre-construction researches but since we can start from saving animals from death and conserving their species, it is not that much expensive task to do so, isn't it?!
Thanks for sharing an unique news to E-gen!

Hey there Deepak!
I really am for any initiative with the chief objective to conserve wildlife! Big up to the collaborative work of Parsa National Park Authority and Tarai Arc Landscape (TAL) Programme. Human-wildlife conflict is a matter that is still relevant in our day and age, so I really commend them for finding a resolution to this problem.
Thank you for you update report! I look forward to the next one!
Yours sincerely
