hotspot of bio diversity.
Exclusive footage of the Indian Rhino and the Asian elephant from the
Royal Chitwan National Park, which is guarded by the Royal Nepal army
from rhino poachers. While depicting the natural beauty of Nepal, the
film also projects the 'community forests' concept in Nepal which has
proved a success in maintaining the wetland area of "twenty
thousand lakes", a paradise for bird watchers. The
concerns facing wildlife protection are projected
in the overall role it plays in the ecology
of the entire area. The evolution and extinction
of species is looked at in the backdrop of
the spectacular natural history event by
which the Himalayan mountains were formed
sixty million years ago. Digital animation
techniques have helped visualize the event.
. Unchecked
mining in the forested hills causes floods
during monsoon and water shortages during
the dry season. Decrease in primary and secondary
forest area is posing a question mark on
the future of the Bengal tiger and in particular
the Asian elephant in Nepal. The
film is available for telecast in beta-SP
/digital format.
