Kathmandu,
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has spoken of the need for humankind to protect the rights of one and all including the wildlife, arguing that there was an interrelation among human, floras and faunas.
Addressing the silver jubilee ceremony of the Central Zoo Management organized by the National Trust for Nature Conservation at Jawalakhel on Wednesday, PM Oli said the zoo has undergone some good changes lately since the Trust undertook the responsibility of its management.
The zoo is home to over 1,068 animals of 110 species. It has conserved 15 of the 38 endangered wildlife species enlisted as the endangered category in the country. PM Oli also held the view that the issues related to wildlife conservation should be educationally linked and the zoo should provide the visiting students' knowledge about the interrelations among the human, wildlife, natural resources, ecosystem, and earth. Oli, on the occasion, announced that the government would provide four electric vehicles to the zoo to facilitate the senior citizens, physically-challenged and expecting mothers.
Wildlife Guardianship Programme launched On the occasion, PM Oli inaugurated the Wildlife Guardianship Programme and took the guardianship of a rhino. He announced that he would bear the cost of foods, care and treatment needed to the rhino for a month on his own expense and for one year on behalf of Nepal government.
