Forest fires in Nepal in May and June seared thousands of acres of land in several national parks.
Worst hit was Bardiya National Park, in the northwest, estimated to have lost up to 70% of its forests and 40% of its small mammals. Fires also hit Chitwan National Park, Parsa Wildlife Reserve, the Dharange forest near Annapurna Conservation Area and some of Langtang National Park.
