Forest and Environment Minister Ain Bahadur Shahi Thakuri has said that the Forest and Wildlife Protection Act is under revision. He said that it is going to be amended to solve the policy problems related to forest and wildlife protection as well as the environment.

Speaking at a press conference held by Press Union Palpa on Wednesday at Giddha Park of Khaliwan Khaireni Community Forest, Rampur Municipality-8, he said that due to forest and wildlife protection as well as environmental protection regulations, some development works have been affected and the process of revision has been started. "We are in the process of revising the National Parks and Wildlife Protection Act as well as the Forest Act," he said. As a result, even though there is a close relationship between development, construction and forestry, we have started the process of amendment because of small problems.' 

Minister Shahi Thakuri said that there is a situation where wood is imported from abroad but rots in the forest in the country. He said that by amending the Forestry Act, indigenous wood will be utilized and imports from foreign countries will be discouraged. "We are making the necessary action plan for that," he said. In recent years, our country has also suffered the effects of climate change and said that efforts will be made to reduce it. 

The vulture conservation campaign, which is in an endangered state, is happy with the information that the number has gradually increased, he said, adding that it is important from biological, natural and religious points of view. In the program, Chairman of Lumbini Province Economy, Industry and Tourism Committee Raju Prasad Shrestha stated that there should be a clear policy in the Forest Act for bird protection and emphasized that there should be a special provision in the Forest Act.
