Nepal is rich in diversified biological resources, geographical and climatic variations, socio-cultural and natural entities. Biodiversity in Nepal is intimately related to subsistence livelihood and economical development. It also relates to agricultural productivity, human health, nutrition, indigenous knowledge, building materials, water resources, aesthetic and cultural system of the society.

The organizational belief is that the biological resources play significant roles in environment conservation, especially in the sector of livelihood and economic development. But due to vigorous human activities, some of these biological species have become endangered and reached in the verge of extinction.

CBEC feels the following problems existing in biodiversity and environment conservation (B & EC) in Nepal:
 1.      Inadequate public awareness and low level of participation in natural resources management
 2.      Inadequate information system regarding developmental and detrimental of B & EC
 3.      High population pressure on natural resources
 4.      People at remote and rural areas are excluded from development process and suffering
          from poverty
 5.      Vulnerability, powerlessness and ignorance towards modern agro forestry development
 6.      Improper structuring and integrated approach in B & EC programs
