This is an important
national autonomous non- governmental and non- profit organization, although some projects
are either funded or integrated by the Nepalese government. The main objectives of KMTNC
are to assist the government of Nepal in promoting, conserving, enhancing, and managing
protected area management systems, to promote and conduct applied wildlife research in
parks, reserves, and conservation areas, and to raise funds to support conservation efforts in
Nepal (Carlsson, 2001; MOPE, 2004). The Trust’s activities are spread from the tropical
plains of Chitwan and Bardia in the low lands to the Annapurna and Manaslu regions of the
high Himalayas encompassing the Trans Himalaya region of upper Mustang and Manag.
Among these project activities, Carlsson says “ACAP might be considered as most important
and also most well- known conservation project in Nepal” (Carlsson, 2001). ACAP mainly
focuses on the three areas of namely community, tourism development, and conservation.
Some of the major achievements of the project, according to Carlsson, are the installation of
482 back boilers, 569 solar heaters, 40 space heaters, and 708 improved stoves at private
lodges and households with the aim of reducing the stress on forest resources (Carlsson,
2001). The project also supports various other fields such as education, cultural promotion,
infrastructure improvement and health.
