Chure area in Madhesh province should be declared a protected area: MP Jha

He said that even though there are 20 protected areas in Nepal, there is not a single protected area in Madhes province. He mentioned that out of 1 thousand 918 animals found in Nepal, 1 thousand 308 species are found in Terai region.

Similarly, out of 493 endangered species found in Nepal, 319 species are found in this area, so it is necessary to declare Chure as a protected area. He said that due to the exploitation of Chure, the water level is also going down and emphasized that the Chure area should be protected as it serves as an underground reservoir.

'Now there are 20 protected areas in Nepal, of which 7 are directly related to Chure . Of the 1,918 animals found in Nepal, 1,308 species are found in the Chure and Terai regions.

The Chure area has worked as an underground reservoir for the Terai.'
