Introduction
The
Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve was established in 1976 under the National Parks
and Wildlife Conservation Act 2029 (1973). A wildlife reserve is defined in the
Act as 'an area set aside for the conservation of animal and bird-life,
vegetation and landscape together with the natural environment'. Under the Act
NPWC 1973 all native flora and fauna are totally protected in the protected
areas of the country even when they inhabit outside the protected area. The act
prohibits all domestic animals
from grazing inside the park and the reserve.
The
reserve was primarily established to conserve the last remnant population of
Wild Water Buffalo (Bubalis arnee) in
Nepal.
International
endorsement
In
December 1987 the Government of Nepal acceded to the Ramsar Convention for
inclusion of KTWR in the list of Wetlands of International Importance
established under the terms of the convention. Realizing the importance of the
site, it was designated as a
wetland of international importance and
added to the Ramsar list in 17 December 1987 (IUCN, 1990).
The
criteria for the inclusion of the site in the Ramsar list are as follows (Scott,
1989):
·
The wetland regularly supports more than 20,000 waterfowl.
·
The wetland is of special value for maintaining the genetic and
ecological diversity of a region because of the peculiarities of its flora and
fauna.
