Dec 2011
Background
In the World Conservation Congress (WCC) held in early1980s, the world leaders passed a resolution that each IUCN Member nation should develop a strategy related to sustainable use of their country’s natural resources. As an IUCN Member, Nepal government had ratified this resolution and with support from IUCN, prepared a National Conservation Strategy in 1988. The Document was well received by concerned stakeholders involved in nature conservation work at national, local and international levels. However, national and international contexts, in which the 1988 Strategy was developed has now changed and there is a need to revisit this Strategy.

The Document was well received by concerned stakeholders involved in nature conservation work at national, local and international levels. However, national and international contexts, in which the 1988 Strategy was developed has now changed and there is a need to revisit this Strategy.
The
National Planning Commission of Nepal, with support from IUCN (International
Union for Conservation of Nature) has taken an initiative to revisit the 1988
Strategy. The objective of this initiative is to develop a revised or new
National Conservation Strategy which reflects the changed contexts and one that
ensures that nature conservation is an integral part of all national
development policies, strategies and programs. NCS thus formulated is expected
to be a guiding document for all conservation policies and practices in Nepal.
We
seek to engage an experienced Consultant (national/ international) to assist in
developing (writing and producing) the Strategy and work closely with members
of the Steering and Technical Committees and coordinate and guide the work of
consultants responsible for preparing background papers and other information
relevant to the revised/new Strategy.
