Malnutrition in the Himalayan region of Nepal is a significant public health concern, particularly affecting children and vulnerable populations who often lack access to nutrient-dense foods. Although the condition has improved over the years, considerable disparities persist, with 60 per cent of people in the mountains and 53 per cent in the hills being food insecure, compared to 48 per cent in the plains.Recent studies show that Nepal has made progress in reducing malnutrition over the past 25 years, with child stunting dropping from 56.6 per cent in 1996 to 24.8 per cent in 2022. However, this improvement varies by income level. The poorest saw only a 19.7 per cent reduction, while the wealthiest experienced a 67.1 per cent decrease, indicating that low-income communities need more targeted help. Stunting (shorter height for age) affects 25 per cent of children under five, while 8 per cent of children are wasted (dangerously low weight for height) and 19 per cent are underweight.

If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.
The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.
A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.
Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."
One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks.
If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different ...
