Approximately, 2500000 trees will be cutdown and the construction area lies in the Buffer zone of Parsa Wildlife Reserve too. The Nijgadh Jungle is habitat of the flora, fauna and the endangered animals like the tiger, elephant, birds, etc. This project aims to submit the report on potential consequences of the construction of proposed Nijgadh Airport. The team wil suggest the government two potential ideas: First, Alternative area to construct the airport which will be feasible from the biodiversity and environment point of view. Second, if they are reluctant in the first idea, they will suggest to them to follow the "Greenery Airport concept", which will be a sustainable development approach. The project has been ongoing and Fellows have been preparing the detail reports on environmental impacts of the construction of Nijgadh International Airport.
