Journalist and author Dadi Sapkota's sixth book, 'Gyanika', has been released in the market. The book was launched at a program organized on Saturday at the Pragya Pratishthan in Kathmandu. Journalist Birat Anupam also interacted with author Sapkota and wildlife expert Rama Mishra at the program.
Author Dadi Sapkota has included the experiences and voices of 21 'knowledgeable people' who have dedicated their lives to conservation in this book. This book contains inspiring experiences of human struggle, scientific discovery and conservation connected to nature. Wildlife expert Rama Mishra said that the reader will not only get scientific facts here, but also human experiences and emotions that bring those facts to life. She says that this book will increase environmental awareness within us and instill love and respect for nature.
Author Dadi Sapkota said that Nepal, rich in diverse geographical and biological heritages spread from the Himalayas to the Terai, is truly a wonderful chamber of nature. 'Nepal showed the world community forests.' He said that it preached the mantra of zero hunting,' he said, 'it also gave birth to original concepts like homestay.' But it also made me realize that behind these achievements, there are many invisible characters, warnings and possibilities. This is what inspired me to write the book ‘Gyanika’.’
The natural world around us is not just a place to eat and live. It is also a living system, which is constantly providing us with balance, knowledge and energy, he says. ‘We are making rapid progress in science.’ But there is still a lot left to understand and learn about the deep relationship between humans and nature,’ Sapkota said.
‘Gyanika’ features stories from Rampreet Yadav, a founding employee of Chitwan National Park and also a chief, Harkaman Lama and Bishnu Lama, wildlife technicians from the early days of Chitwan, Tej Bahadur Singh Mahat, who was involved in the establishment and upliftment of community forests, to well-known botanist Dr. Tirtha Bahadur Shrestha.
The book also includes the knowledge of Tulsi Lakshmi Suwal, who is passionate about salak, Rama Mishra, who has studied and researched the Malaha cat, or fishing cat, and Ravi Bhakta Pandey, who gave homestays international recognition.
