7 6. EFFECTS OF THE EARTHQUAKE ON NATURAL CULTURAL HERITAGE STRUCTURES IN KHUMBU REGION 1. The second earthquake destroyed 90% of the households in Khumbu region 2. People of Khumbu slept or sheltered in tarp and tents little over two months in open sky at 13,000ft to 18,000ft without the temporary shelters 3. 70% of the local residents depend their annual income from tourism either catering, guiding or portering and many of the lodges 4. At the end of rebuild houses and lodges in pre-monsoon, acute labor shortages to rebuild the private houses, teashops and lodges 5. Poor communication systems in due to geographic remoteness 6. Government approach is limited especially in remote regions like upper Khumbu 7. A FUNDING PROPOSAL TO REBUILD THE CULTURAL HERITAGE STRUCTURE ALONG THE TREKKING TRAILS OF EVEREST REGION The impacts from the earthquake were huge especially where the natural and cultural heritage structures have been severely damaged. These monasteries and the stupas are important cultural heritage for the Sherpas of these twin villages. The Sherpas themselves responded generously o help rebuild the religious structures like monastery, Chorten (Stupas), Mani walls and Lhang etc. Monasteries and cultural monuments such as the Manilhang, Chorten, Kani and Mani walls are the centers of practicing religious rites where various festivals are performed each year. For the Sherpas of this twin village, their natural and cultural heritage is an important component of their identity. At the time of preparing this report, many emergency relief as well as rebuild assistance of community buildings such as the schools, health post from various organizations has begun but we have not received any donors interested nor resource allocated in the repair and rebuild of cultural sites as mentioned above from the Government or aid organizations. Normally, the local people would maintain these cultural monuments themselves, but this time the situation was different. As majority of the local lost their houses and that required huge investment to rebuild those private houses and therefore due to their own dire situation, they were not able do rebuild or repair by locals. These cultural monuments are the foundations upon which the Sherpa community is built. The Sherpa people draw their sense of cultural and spiritual identity from these religious and communal hubs. So any further support towards the repair and reconstruction of these structures would be very much appreciated. For this, Climate Alliance of Himalayan Communities will request your assistance to help restore these cultural monuments as much as possible. We will make sure that your money will be used REPORT FROM CLIMATE ALLIANCE HIMALAYAN COMMUNITIES Page 7

22 8. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN A funding proposal for Construction of Garbage bins along the trekking trails of Everest Region The Khumbu (Everest) Region is one of the popular tourists destination around the globe receiving more than 30,000 tourists every year. Due to the high influx of tourists and expedition groups, support staff, and increased in number of tourist services (such as lodges, restaurants, shops etc.), waste management problem has become one of the prominent environmental concerns and a key management issues in the Region. Since its inception in 1991, the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC) has made considerable efforts in managing the wastes in the Everest Region. Some of our efforts include raising awareness on waste management, setting up a waste collection, segregation and disposal system in coordination with local communities, buffer zone user groups, youth groups and various I/NGOs. Among various waste management efforts, one of our goals is to keep the trekking trails clean. Initially, we have placed temporary bamboo baskets for waste collection along the trekking trail, however it is found to be ineffective way to collect wastes as the wind often blows off the trashes. Therefore, SPCC has started to build a permanent garbage bins having segregation chambers for burnable and non-burnable garbage along the trekking trails with the aim of building a more effective waste collection system in the Region since So far we have built 73 garbage bins at various resting points with financial support from Eco Himal, Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA), Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation (MoTCA), Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) and Sagarmatha National Park Buffer Zone Committee (SNPBZMC). We have further plans to build more garbage bins this year at the major resting points along the way to Everest Base Camp, and currently seeking financial support from potential donors. Proposed Project (Construction of garbage bins along the trekking trails of Everest Region)AWe are proposing to build 20 garbage bins along the trekking trails of the Everest Region this year. The main purpose of this project is to set up a proper system for waste collection, and segregate wastes by categories so that these wastes will be properly treated and managed accordingly. These garbage bins will be located at various rest points located at an elevation between 3800m and 5000m. These permanent garbage bins will help us to keep the trekking trails clean and address some of the current waste management problems in the Region. REPORT FROM CLIMATE ALLIANCE HIMALAYAN COMMUNITIES Page 22
23 Estimated Budget: The total budget for constructing a total of 20 garbage bins on the trekking trails in the Everest Region is Rs. 20*1,43, = 28,65,091 /- (Twenty eight lakhs sixty five thousand and ninety one rupees). The detail cost breakdown for constructing one garbage bin is provided in the following table. S.N. Description of Work Quantity Unit Rates Rs.
