About ECO-Nepal

Nepal faces the overcoming problem of environmental deterioration as in many other parts of the world. The process of urbanization, industrialization and increasing needs of growing population with unplanned settlements in respect to every aspect of pollution has resulted in the degradation of environmental condition globally. The biodiversity around the world is facing so serious threat that the number of endangering species now is so much than ever before. It is assumed that the change in natural process has increased by 10,000 times due to human desired activities and this rate is even more in the third world countries like Nepal.

The healthy natural environment is commonly important for all living organism including human beings. Therefore, we must think about the environment where we live! By realizing these facts ECO-Nepal, a non-governmental organization has been established dedicated to preserve and conserve deteriorating environment, maintain natural ecology and to make aware the people to mitigate the loss caused by these disasters etc. and do further more. These problems are visibly related to environment and related to development process of the country.

Therefore, the sustainable urbanization must emphasize on environment friendly development process. In this light, ECO-Nepal is focusing importance of renewable energy in the remote villages for the development of backward country like ours. In long-term basis, our traditional tourism will not be beneficial and its distribution to the village will not be stable unless we better retain our tourism potential through eco-tourism. As children are the future of the world, we are concerned also to educate all these environmental aspects to children by enabling them access the rights to get good education and healthy environment. For this purpose, it is necessary to form volunteer group that work to manage disaster, create healthy environment in community, advocate for environment and disaster awareness with school-going children as well as college student.
