Conservation in Conflict: The Impact of the Maoist Government conflict on conservation and biodiversity in Nepal 1 Next, the authors examine the effects of the conflict on conservation organizations and the development community. [...] All of these elements certainly have a role to play in the conflict, but for the purpose of this document, the focus remains with impacts on the environment and the development community. [...] The other side of the coin, which is the focus of this report, looks at the impacts of violent conflict on the environment. [...] After paying little attention to the remote Maoist insurgency in the west of the country for several years, thus giving the revolution precious time to grow, the monarchy and the fledgling democratic government finally began to take notice toward the end of the 1990s. [...] Community Forestry and the Maoists Forest conservation has the potential to suffer serious setbacks from the conflict between the Maoists and the government.
"Sam Cowan first visited Nepal in 1966 when he trekked for two months in east and west Nepal. At the time he was on a three-year tour as a junior officer with Queen's Gurkha Signals in Borneo, Malaya and Hong Kong. During a long and distinguished career, until his retirement as a four-star general in 2002, he performed numerous staff and command jobs culminating in the successive appointments of Inspector General of Army Training, Quartermaster General, and Chief of Defence Logistics. In 1989, he became Colonel of Queen's Gurkha Signals and a trustee of the Gurkha Welfare Trust (GWT). In 1994, he was appointed Colonel Commandant of the Brigade of Gurkhas, the titular Head of Gurkhas in the British Army, an appointment which also carried with it the responsibility of being Chairman of the GWT. His annual visits to Nepal as Colonel Commandant included eight official audiences with the reigning monarchs to deliver a report on the Brigade of Gurkhas. Since 1989, he has done a further 30-plus treks." --cover page [4].
