In the plains (the Terai), natural grasslands occur along flood plains and terraces, but now only exist in their natural state within protected areas (PAs). At higher altitudes, trans-Himalayan and alpine rangelands are home to a diverse array of wildlife and are grazed by livestock. A workshop on Grassland Ecology and Management in Protected Areas of Nepal was organised jointly by HMG/Nepal’s Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation (DNPWC), the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), and WWF Nepal Programme, from March 15-19, 1999, at Royal Bardia National Park, Nepal. The goal of the workshop was to summarise the major grassland ecological research work conducted to date and devise effective research and management strategies for grasslands in PAs in the mountain and Terai areas of Nepal. The proceedings from the workshop are divided into three volumes. Volume I is the Workshop Action Summary and contains a brief summary of the papers presented in Volumes II and III, as well as a summary and synthesis of the workshop findings and recommendations; Volume II presents the status and research papers from the Terai protected areas of Nepal and India; and Volume III presents the status and research papers from protected areas in the mountains. 000007544 650__ $$aForests and forestry 000007544 650__ $$aNatural resource management 000007544 650__ $$aRange, grasslands, pasture 000007544 655__ $$aGrassland ecology 000007544 655__ $$aGrassland management 000007544 655__ $$aMountain areas 000007544 655__ $$aMountain ecosystem 000007544 655__ $$aNational parks 000007544 655__ $$aNepal 000007544 655__ $$aProtected areas 000007544 655__ $$aRangelands 000007544 655__ $$aWildlife conservation 000007544 653__ $$aGrassland ecology 000007544 653__ $$aGrassland management 000007544 653__ $$aMountain areas 000007544 653__ $$aMountain ecosystem 000007544 653__ $$aNational parks 000007544 653__ $$aNepal 000007544 653__ $$aProtected areas 000007544 653__ $$aRangelands 000007544 653__ $$aWildlife conservation 000007544 690__ $$aForests and forestry 000007544 690__ $$aNatural resource management 000007544 690__ $$aRange, grasslands, pasture 000007544 8564_ $$uhttp://lib.icimod.org/record/7544/files/cover_image_165.jpg$$yCover Image 000007544 8564_ $$uhttp://lib.icimod.org/record/7544/files/Grassland Ecology and Management in Protected Areas of Nepal- Volume 3.pdf 000007544 8564_ $$uhttp://lib.icimod.org/record/7544/files/Grassland Ecology and Management in Protected Areas of Nepal- Volume 3.ps 000007544 8564_ $$uhttp://lib.icimod.org/record/7544/files/Grassland Ecology and Management in Protected Areas of Nepal- Volume 3.png?subformat=icon$$xicon 000007544 8564_ $$uhttp://lib.icimod.org/record/7544/files/Grassland Ecology and Management in Protected Areas of Nepal- Volume 3.png?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180 000007544 8564_ $$uhttp://lib.icimod.org/record/7544/files/Grassland Ecology and Management in Protected Areas of Nepal- Volume 3.png?subformat=icon-210$$xicon-210 000007544 8564_ $$uhttp://lib.icimod.org/record/7544/files/Grassland Ecology and Management in Protected Areas of Nepal- Volume 3.png?subformat=icon-600$$xicon-600 000007544 970__ $$aBM-20120903-1761 000007544 980__ $$aICIMODBOOKS
