Biodiversity profile of Nepal

The biogeographically position of Nepal is very reassuming for the fact that Nepal may claim the wealth of two very large and diverse realms of the worked. i.e., the Pale arctic in the northern region and the oriental in the southern region. Its location in the central sector of the Himalayan are further enhances the bioclimatic

diversity due to the fact that the more humid condition of the eastern Himalayas and the drier western Himalayas interpenetrates into Nepal, Nepal’s proximity to the tropics and its topographical and altitudinal range from deep valley to mountain crests, create condition for the occurrence of Tropical to Arctic climate. All these facts and factors contribute to make Nepal an important country in the biodiversity conservation. Therefore, it is but natural to assume that Nepal has rich repository of biodiversity, but we don’t know how rich neither rich, nor do is we know what is the price tag for our biological resources.
