The Rapti River flowing through Chitwan National Park has been being cleaned for the past 10 years. The campaigners have been spontaneously collecting plastic items mainly from the river and surrounding areas.
According to Apil Ghimire, the founder president of the Rapti Sanitation Campaign, this campaign will be held every Saturday at 8 am from 23rd March 2072. The river mouth is being cleaned from Trikhandi in Makwanpur to Golaghat in Meghauli in Chitwan.
Ghimire said that the main objective is to protect the aquatic life in the river and wildlife in the park because they are affected by plastic. 50 to 100 people participate every week by involving the local people. He informed that there are around fifty campaigners who join regular campaigns.
So far 500 times 22 thousand volunteers have participated in the sanitation campaign. Ghimire said that cleaning is being done by reaching different places of the river and involving local residents and public representatives.
So far, forest ministers, tourism ministers, members of the House of Representatives, members of the provincial assembly, heads of various municipalities, deputy heads and other people's representatives have participated in the campaign. The staff of Chitwan National Park and the Nepalese army deployed for security are also participating in the campaign. He said that when the
day comes, globes, dustbins, dustbins, sacks, masks, and masks are collected from donors, but at other times, they are carrying out campaigns by taking cleaning materials themselves. The plastic wild animals scattered in the river and nearby areas eat with the grass and have an adverse effect on their health, while some wild animals and aquatic animals have also died by falling into objects like nets. During the campaign, along with plastic collection and management, conservation education has been given to the locals.
