The numbers of rare birds and animals have been
decreasing in Bajura district western Nepal due to illegal killing and
smuggling of wildlife. Heavy snowfall and bad weather also seem to be favoring
poachers by weakening inspection. Lophophorus impejanus, the country's national
bird, has been reported to be traded at about NPR 2000 in the local market
despite the ban by concerned authorities.
