Overview

This study assesses macrophyte diversity and ecotourism potential in eastern Nepal's lakes, highlighting opportunities for conservation and socioeconomic uplift.

Key Points

  • Macrophyte diversity includes 56 species of angiosperms and 4 species of aquatic pteridophytes, indicating a rich ecosystem.
  • Ecotourism activities are prominent, with relaxation at Taltalaiya lake, picnicking at Raja-Rani lake, and religious engagements at Maipokhari lake.
  • Data were collected using quadrat methods, key informant surveys, and focus group discussions for qualitative and quantitative analysis.
  • The findings suggest a strong linkage between ecological health and potential revenue generation through ecotourism in these lakes.
