Project location map
The Nepal South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Road Improvement Project (SRIP) aims to upgrade the Narayanghat–Hetauda–Pathlaiya (NHP) road from two to four lanes along a 106 km stretch. The road’s close proximity to significant protected areas, including the buffer zones of Chitwan and Parsa National Parks, raises environmental concerns. Both Chitwan National Park (CNP) and Parsa National Park (PNP) are flagship conservation sites in Nepal, serving as vital habitats and ecological corridors for wildlife species of high conservation importance.The consulting service is a part of the regional technical assistance initiative Protecting and Investing in Natural Capital in Asia and the Pacific, will support the road improvement project by integrating measures to safeguard natural habitats and biodiversity. Ultimately, the project will equip the Executing and Implementing Agencies with science-based solutions to better understand and mitigate the impacts of the road on local biodiversity, thereby enhancing the sustainability of their investments.
Client : Asian Development Bank (ADB)
