Around 700 hectares of forest cover has been destroyed by a wildfire that has been raging in Manang district for the last two months. The wildfire that started in November last year has reached the Raindu forest area.

“The fire had started from the forests of Thanchok and Kote in Koto last month,” said Sol Bahadur Gurung, a resident of Tachai in Ward No. 8 of Nason Rural Municipality. “The forest floor is covered with dry leaves and woods. We have not been able to put the fire out.”

The fire is burning the forest resources and putting wildlife in danger.
