Environmental issues in Nepal have become increasingly serious due to rapid population growth, urbanization, and weak environmental management. One of the major problems is deforestation, which leads to loss of biodiversity and increased risk of landslides, especially in hilly regions. Air and water pollution are also growing concerns, particularly in cities like Kathmandu, where vehicle emissions, industrial waste, and unmanaged garbage severely affect public health. Climate change is another critical issue, causing irregular rainfall, melting of \u0939\u093f\u092e\u0928\u0926\u0940 (glaciers), and natural disasters such as floods and droughts. Poor waste management and lack of proper sanitation further degrade the environment. Additionally, unplanned development and overuse of natural resources are putting pressure on ecosystems. Addressing these issues requires strong government policies, public awareness, and sustainable practices to protect the environment for future generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
