the Bote people have roamed through the Chitwan forest of south Nepal,

hunting, fishing and foraging for their survival,

But now it is illegal for the Botes to enter the forest.

In 1973, Chitwan was designated a national park.

It is an area of rich biodiversity, and unique in Nepal

for its rhinoceros and tiger populations.

Now a World Heritage Site, Chitwan attracts thousands of visitors a year.

for the Bote people’s traditional way of life.

To preserve the park’s unique eco-system,

hunting and fishing in Chitwan is now illegal.

With the Botes cut off from their source of survival,

the government is trying to involve them in conservation and tourism.

“Protection has been successful through people’s participation.

We are also creating opportunities for such communities and people.

Say for example the growing tourism industries, many hotels,

and there are certain routes where people can boat.”

But like many young people, Ramesh Bot feels trapped.

He works part time at a nearby tourist center,

but dreams of leaving the forest, and the traditional ways, for good.

because their situation isn’t all that different from mine.

But there is a law that could transform the lives of indigenous peoples

Convention 169 of the International Labour Organisation

is the only legally binding international regulation

that deals exclusively with the rights of indigenous people.

In 2007, the Nepalese government ratified Convention 169 into law,

the first country in south Asia to do so.

Now the challenge is to implement the law successfully.

The Bote people could be guaranteed the right

And a traditional way of life in the forest would continue.

“It won’t disappear –it will remain.

We can speak our language and save our culture.
