New hybrid maize variety ‘Saugat’ promises relief for farmers facing extreme weather in Nepal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CHITWAN – Agricultural scientists at the National Maize Research Programme in Rampur, Chitwan, have developed a new hybrid maize seed capable of withstanding extreme drought, erratic rainfall and prolonged waterlogging. Named ‘Saugat’—which literally means a gift in Nepali—the new variety is expected to restore farmers’ trust in domestically produced high-yielding seeds and curb the country’s reliance on imported hybrids. The variety, currently coded as CAH-1511, is on the verge of official cert
In Nepal, more tigers mean more conflict, but too little room for those rescued (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CHITWAN – As Nepal’s tiger population grows, so does the need to capture animals that enter settlements and attack people or livestock.

Read excerpt
KATHMANDU – On Friday afternoon, nature guide Samjhana Tiwari posted a video on Facebook showing a long queue of tourist vehicles heading towards the Baghmara Buffer Zone Community Forest for elephant and boat safaris. “There are so many vehicles. You would not even see this many at a bus station,” Tiwari said in the video.
