“…The sufficient quality of articles, which has been achieved through the procedure of double-blind review, introduced in the journals of the Scopus scientometric database, will be considered to be the guarantee of the accuracy of the trends. Thus, Bhattarai et al (2023) emphasize that among all the criteria that should be taken into account when analyzing the degree of the development of economic space of a certain territory, the main attention should be paid to the development of urban infrastructure, openness of space, population density and economic viability (or the degree of comfort in a specific territory of human life and business). in their work prove the need to pay sufficient attention not only to economic, but also to ecological spatial connections of urban agglomerations, that is, they emphasize the expediency of introducing an ecological and economic vector of coordination in activities of a separate settlement and the region as a whole.…”

“…Lastly, there is a significant lack of information about where these storks' nest are in Nepal and what habitats they prefer for breeding, especially in the eastern region. This gap is especially concerning because of the ongoing unplanned urbanization in agricultural‐wetland landscapes (Bhattarai et al., 2023 ; Rimal et al., 2018 ), and tree felling is rapidly increasing (Katuwal et al., 2024 ; Katuwal, Sundar, et al., 2022 ), which could have a major impact on the breeding success of these storks.…”

Colonial nesting waterbirds in agricultural landscapes have historically received limited research attention, especially in South Asia. For example, the Asian openbill (Anastomus oscitans) is a colonial species that extensively utilizes agricultural landscapes, yet there is a notable lack of substantial studies despite increasing urbanization across these landscapes. We investigated the factors affecting the breeding ecology of Asian openbills in eastern Nepal. We used a grid‐based approach to locate stork colonies and monitored them throughout the breeding season from May to November for three consecutive years (2020–2022). Altogether, we observed a total of 67 active colonies, comprising 4020 active nests, which successfully fledged a total of 7566 chicks. Additionally, most of the colonies were located within areas of human settlements (40%), followed by community forests (33%) and agricultural land (27%). The Asian openbills primarily preferred large trees, such as Bombax ceiba (72%), for nesting. The mean height of nesting trees was approximately 4 m taller, the diameter at breast height was twice as large, and the canopy cover area was three times greater than that of non‐nesting trees. The canopy cover area of trees positively influenced the colony size, while colony size positively influenced the fledgling's success. Our study underscores the significance of large trees in providing sufficient space for accommodating a substantial number of openbill nests and fledglings. These findings have significant implications for conservation efforts to protect large trees along with wetlands and agricultural lands, as crucial measures to ensure the sustainable breeding of this nationally vulnerable species.

Death registration in Nepal is incomplete, which limits its utility as a routine source of mortality data to inform policy development. This study uses data from the Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) Survey 2015/16 in Nepal conducted among households and CRVS service providers (local registrars) to assess the likelihood of death registration, using logistic regression with covariates of socio-economic, demographic and geographic characteristics. Respondents’ main reasons for registration and non-registration of deaths and ways to improve the CRVS system are also analysed. Death registration (70%) was more likely where the decedent was male (77%) versus female (60%), older aged (45 years and above 70%) versus young aged (0–14 years 26%) or died of injuries (more than 70%) compared with maternal causes (12%), where the household head’s education was higher and where the household haf more communication facilities. There were also large differences death registration by province and for certain ethnic groups. The main reasons for death registration were to transfer property entitlements, access social security or for other legal processes (a combined 85% of registered deaths). The major reason for non-registration of deaths according to most households (72%) and service providers (70%) was that it was not necessary. Both households and service providers stated that registration would be made more convenient by arranging mobile teams for registration, allowing registration at place of occurrence, and promoting online registration. The barriers and enablers identified in this study are valuable evidence to inform CRVS strengthening efforts in Nepal and other countries facing a similar challenge of incomplete death registration.
