The Ministry of Education and Sports of His Majesty's Government of Nepal places high importance on the need for imparting environmental education to all school children. This publication describes a three-year pilot study undertaken to compare the level of knowledge that students have before and after taking a course in population and environmental concerns. It is hoped that the positive results of this study will promote future endeavours in this area.

This source book contains 15 chapters on diverse topics, ranging from components of the natural environment to efforts in environmental management. While it is primarily intended for students and teachers in the Faculty of Education and Tribhuvan University-affiliated campuses, it will also be useful to researchers and general readers interested in the state of the global environment as well as the environment in Nepal.
