The rapidly melting mountains are signaling danger

The rapidly melting mountains are signaling danger

Excessive burning of fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal by countries is one of the major challenges and risks faced by the least developed and developing countries such as Nepal which geography is in a sensitive state. It rises from as low as 59 metres (194 ft) elevation in the tropical Terai—the northern rim of the Gangetic Plain, through beyond the perpetual snow line to 90 peaks over 7,000 metres (22,966 ft) including Earth's highest (8,848-metre (29,029 ft) Mount Everest.

In my opinion, the countries which are depending on fossils fuels as a source of energy need to take acute action to save the planet and make a better place for living beings. 

Thank you!

The Crying Sirsiya River (Birgunj): A Tale of Neglect and Hope

The Crying Sirsiya River (Birgunj): A Tale of Neglect and Hope As I journeyed along the India-Nepal border, my second visit to Raxaul, India, was marred by a troubling sight. Amidst the routine of travel and commerce, my attention was drawn to the Sirsiya River. What I beheld was not the serene flow of a typical river but a dismal sight – its waters were a deep, ominous black.  I approached the river anxiously, but the workers who were digging a ditch along the bank warned me not to get too close. They cautioned that the water was falling heavily and the river itself was polluted and dangerous; touching it could cause numbness and itchiness. Despite their warning, I observed the scene and managed to take two or four pictures. Reflecting on the experience, I felt compelled to write something.   Current situation of the Sirsiya River ( Photo by Tek)   The Sirsiya River, originating in the pristine Ramban forest of Jitpur Simara Sub-metropolitan 3, was once a symbol of natural beauty and

Social Research: A Guiding Light for Decision-Making In social science research, effective decision-making requires an emphasis on obtaining relevant and accurate information about the organization’s internal and external environments. The primary goal is to provide timely and meaningful insights to senior management, enabling them to plan and execute informed decisions. The research process within organizations typically follows several key stages: 1. Problem Identification This stage involves monitoring and analyzing the internal and external environments to identify key  issues or challenges. Through this process, researchers conduct a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) to gain a deeper understanding of the situation. Data on emerging problems and opportunities is gathered. For example, an Indian garment company looking to expand internationally would need to research market trends, brand awareness, consumer behavior, and competitor analysis. Failure

Behind the Lens: The Startling Cruelty Unveiled in a Captivating Image of Animal Behavior

  In the midst of our ever-evolving world, the challenges faced by wild animals are becoming increasingly critical. One of the most complex issues they encounter is food scarcity, as highlighted by a recent encounter with a monkey displaying a surprisingly angry demeanor while devouring its meal. This observation underscores the growing impact of human activities on wildlife, shedding light on the intricate relationship between wild animals and their struggle for sustenance. During my travels, I have noticed a significant shift in the behavior of monkeys, who are now approaching humans more closely and occasionally resorting to aggressive tactics, such as biting and scratching, to secure their share of resources. This alarming trend creates an atmosphere of fear and terror for humans, emphasizing the consequences of our actions over an extended period. It is evident that the current situation is only the beginning of a potentially escalating conflict between humans and wild animals, ne
