Editor's Notes
The TAL concept originated at a December 1999 regional biodiversity workshop, which recommended a landscape level conservation approach to conserve biodiversity — the new paradigm proposed by conservationists -- in the Terai region to benefit both wildlife and people. The vision of the TAL is to create “a globally unique landscape where biodiversity is conserved, ecological integrity is safeguarded, and sustainable livelihoods of its people are secured” The concept is to link existing protected areas with forested corridors — using forestry practices that will provide benefits to the local people, the national economy, while allowing biodiversity conservation.
