HIMALAYAN RARE PLANT SPECIES ON VERGE OF EXTINCTION



Appropriate time for collecting seeds from the Himalaya region is considered to be between October 15 and November 15. However, due to the delay in granting permission by Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation (MoFSC) to National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), many rare/ endangered plant species are now on the verge of extinction. This lack of coordination will only make it possible to collect 20 percent of the seeds from 10,781 samples of seeds from 90 species of agricultural plants in Nepal.
