The Terai Arc Landscape (TAL), stretching between the Yamuna and Bagmati rivers, encompasses various protected areas across India and Nepal. It is a hotspot for biodiversity, including mammals like the Bengal tiger and the Indian rhinoceros, and over 500 bird species. Conservation efforts have been ongoing since 2001, with strategic plans addressing threats and aiming for socio-ecological integrity. The region faces several challenges, including forest conversion and climate impacts. The survival of endangered species and the ecological health of the area underline the importance of these conservation efforts.
