Kathmandu, Dec. 4
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD)
and Dabur Nepal are set to support Timur production in Baitidi district.
The two organisations are collaborating with the Taalkolla Community
Forest Users' Group to plant 25,000 Timur seedlings within a five-year
period with the support from Baitadi Divisional Forest Office.
The objective of
this initiative is to achieve livelihoods and conservation outcomes through
increasing forest and economic productivity using a multi-stakeholder
partnership in Baitadi, ICIMOD and Dabur said in a joint press statement the
other day.
Given its
geographic and climatic conditions, Baitadi holds good potential for
cultivation of Timur.
The tripartite
agreement was signed by the Director General of ICIMOD Pema Gyamtsho, and
Business Head of Dabur (Nepal and Myanmar) Harkirat Singh Bedi.
