Bio-diversity

Milke Danda (hill top) is a meeting point of Tehrathum, Samkhuwasabha and Taplejung. This represents a mountain biological supermarket and is probably the last remains of the pure strand of Rhododendron - Nepali national flower. This area houses common shrubs to different species of trees. However, grazing, fuelwood fetching, indiscriminate tree felling, encroachment in the jungle area have tremendously depleted the existing resource. The planning grant has been awarded to include local indigenous people and share their indigenous knowledge in the management of whole ecosystem. Together they would also identify the possible economic development activities.
