YAEF
has been broadcasting the
environmental Cycle Radio F.M.
since two years in order to educate the people of kathmandu valley
about the increasing environmental pollution. We feel that this radio F.M.
programme could not contribute properly to raise awareness of the people and
therefore working to start a separate frequency from 5th June. We
plant to broadcast for 12 hours every day and we except your co-operation for
economic and broadcasting
materials.

has also produced a teleserial named 'AHWAN', in order to educate the people
about the environment. This teleserial is suppose to be one hundred episode
and we have already completed four episodes. We expect your help &
assistance to broadcast this picture as well as to complete the total episode.
This
forum has established one & only environmental library in second important
city of Nepal i.e. Lalitpur on the day of June 5th world Environmental day
1997. various bulletins and books published from various National &
International forum & organizations such as IUCN, ICIMOD, WWF, KMTNC, NHS
NEFEJ, DNPWC, SDC, UN, UNDP, UNICEF, ILO, UNFPA, UNEP, SCOPE, GREEN PEACE
INTERNATIONAL, MONAS INTERNATIONAL, WORLD BANK, UNESCO, WHO are available here. In the same
hand, books and bulletins from population & Environment Ministry, Forestry
Ministry, Agricultural Ministry, Health Ministry, Tourism Ministry and Social
welfၡre counsel are available here as well.
Presently this environmental
library has around 3000 environment related books. As population &
environment is selected for the compulsory course for study by HMG and as the
number of readers are increased; books and materials in this library are not
in enough number. We cordially request if the needed material and economic
help is provided from your respected organization, we can develop this library
as and Environmental Research Center of Nepal. We hope that you'll help us by
providing necessary help.
At is
necessary to give continuity to the programmes mentioned above, to avoid
environmental population. it has been very much difficult for us to give
continuity to these programmes because we have been facing lots of economic
and physical problems. so, for the continuity of these programmes we fully
hope that you will certainly assist us.
Finally, we would like to
request you to providing us financial and physical help so that we can conduct various programmes properly
and effectively,
we are
looking forward.
