  The Timeline of this Story Goes Back to, 2006 Kumar told me to come and work. He offered me rupees two thousand per month. It was the summer month of September. I had a great passion for learning the work of birdwatching. I was also fascinated by the sweet and savory food of the resort. Sometimes I was at the department store, and sometimes at the supermarket for the shopping for the arriving tourists. Fifteen days have passed doing the same. The bosses also returned to Kathmandu after carrying out the general maintenance of the resort. The responsibilities of every work were on my shoulders.  The resort had nine staff members, each with their responsibilities. The watchman was a well-known liquor connoisseur. The waiter was of the same type, a mong them was a guide named Mines. He was such a special kind of person that there were no words to describe him. He considered himself perfect in the work environment,  but in my eyes, his work was not satisfactory. He was also more senior th

VULTURE CONSERVATION AND COTTON TREE

  The cotton tree or local name in Nepal is simal and has been considered one of the key trees for conserving vulture and stork species. The tree is called Bombax ceiba in scientific name. It prefers hot tropical to sub-tropical climates. Farmers in the Terai are cutting these trees thinking  un usefulness.  Superstitious Aspects Local people of Hindu belief suppose a vulture flying just above the house invites bad omens. We have so many examples in the community offering Rudri pooja after a vulture crossing a house while flying. This is noted here to mention the local aspect of a vulture. This has been directly linked to the tall trees of vulture habitats. These thoughts should be eliminated from the communities. Conservation organisations can spread vulture awareness among the people. Jatayu in the Ramayan epic is considered a vulture who was killed by the Ravana, the powerful demon King of Lanka, today's Srilanka. The protection formula can be applied by giving the name "J
