...Deforestation in Nepal Forests support biodiversity, providing habitats for wildlife, flora and a place for cattle to graze. The process of deforestation inevitably results in a decline in this biodiversity, as the removal or destruction of forest cover decreases the environment available for these various lifeforms. Forestry is one of the most important natural resources of the country of Nepal. Historically, Nepal was a vastly forested country. However, from 1990 to 2010, 24% of forest cover was lost (1,181,000 ha) . The main reasons for deforestation to this extent have been land clearings - to gain new agricultural land - and the demand for timber and in particular the demand for firewood . Nepal is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world, with 40% of its population living below the poverty line, which is defined by the United Nations as earning less than $1.25 per day. Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy, providing a livelihood for over 80% of the population, and accounting for 40% of Nepal’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (WWF Nepal accessed 2010). Whilst Sherpas involved in trekking expeditions and other mountain-related tourism can earn up to $7,000 per year, the average per capita income is much lower at approximately $1400 per year (Reid, 2003). The vast majority of the country’s population – approximately 85% of the twenty five million people who live in Nepal - live in rural areas and practice subsistence farming, and as such...

...satisfy their wants and needs come in tourism activity. Tourism is increasing expanding activity in national or international level.So nowdays it has become serious concerns for any national. Nepal is a very small and natural beautiful country where almost 82 percent people are engaged in agriculture even though the agriculture sectors contribute only 55 percent on the gross domestic product and 50% of the total export. It is always put in the major or first priority in every periodic plan. And there is always huge budget amount for agriculture. But the productivity is going always downwards because of structure problem raising in Nepal. For example Topographical conditions, lack of irrigation facility, lack of modern technical use and lack of commercialization.

...Everest. Commercial guiding expeditions have led to many deaths and have led to pollution of the mountain. In this essay I will discuss a brief history of Mount Everest, what commercial guiding is, how commercial guiding started and how it is affecting Mount Everest. Sources say that Nepal and China should limit the number of guide companies on Everest and make efforts to clean the mountain and its surrounding ecosystems. Mount Everest is the world’s highest mountain and the fifth tallest mountain from the base to the summit. The altitude of Mount Everest is 8,848 meters or 29,029 feet. Everest is located in the Himalaya Mountain Range, which is located in Nepal, China, India and Pakistan. The Himalayas is the tallest mountain range in the world. Most of its peaks exceed 7,200 meters or 23,600 feet. Mount Everest is located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas. The south side of the mountain is in Nepal and the north side is in China. The peaks that neighbor Everest are Lotse (the 4th highest mountain in the world), Nuptse and Changste. There are two main routes that commercial expeditions use to reach the summit of Everest. The first route is called the South Col which is located in Nepal. Some of the challenges that climbers face with this route are dealing with the Khumbu icefall and traffic jams on the Lotse face and on the day when climbers try to reach the summit of Everest. The other route that expeditions use to reach the summit is the North East Ridge which is...
