Wetlands are an ideal location to support Biomes . The geography crammed with acceptable water and land masses causes a cornucopia of all kinds of species to refer to it as home. No other lake in Nepal is as well-known or as sacred as the Ghodaghodi Lake. Located in an exceedingly important position between the Terai and Siwalik Hills, it offers a certified natural wildlife corridor for over several hundred different kinds of animals and plants.
The value of the diversity found within the Ghodaghodi Lake is globally accepted to be very heavy. There are even 11 internationally threatened faunal species that've been recognised and listed in the IUCN Red List. Such rare faunal species that take up residence in and around the lake are the highly endangered golden monitor lizard, the swamp crocodile, three-striped roofed turtle and the Asiatic rock python also call this place home.
It is not only reptiles and amphibians who reside here. A significant number of tigers have also been spotted along the banks of the river. The tigers have been seen hunting and making their houses around this area. Ever since a big decline in their population was reported, the WWF has dedicated a large effort in helping the local state in their projects to bring the population count up again. There's also an effort to stop the illegal hunting and poaching of these magnificent creators that are so valued for not only their fur but also for certain body parts that have come to be linked with many medicinal properties.
Additionally, 34 mammal species, 29 fish species, and 140 migratory and resident bird species. Each one of them lend to a spectacular ecosystem that can only be supported and appreciated in the unique geography of the Ghodaghodi Lake. No other place within Nepal can boast of such big figures. Although now, it is sad to say that whether or not the variety of the lake is large, the population of each has significantly declined together with the lake's ever decreasing size.
The Wetlands in the Ghodaghodi Lake also may include a wide variety of endangered plant species like certain Orchid species, the bladderwort and water primrose. The unique physical adaption capabilities of these plants are best seen and most suitable within the habitat of the lake. Species of lotus and rare wild rice is also affected in some parts of the lake.The endangered Orchid species are also of an exceedingly serious spiritual significance, plenty of the area folk in and around the lake treasure the location as a non secular site for their deities. These are but few examples of the local marine plants which make up the large scope of plant life that may be found in the Ghodaghodi Lake. There are still another 388 species of vascular plants found here.
One of the major reasons for the fall in the quantity of all the plant and animal species is necessarily the human factor. Folk have been the root of decreasing numbers thru their actions for years. The native people look to the lake for their source of water, food and utilities. Their consumption without any discipline has left little for the wildlife to flourish. The over usage of the water in the lake has left the banks to slowly narrow over the course of time with folks using the lake water for numerous agricultural and even utilitarian desires it's no surprise the animals face a shrinking habitat.

All the Animals in Swamps and plant life exist together in perfect ecological balance. The Wetland biome in the lake can support itself if left alone. It is only when the most important threat to their existence, humans, over stay their welcome inside it. The Ghodaghodi Lake is one of the most key places left in Nepal to preserve life and diversity, as wetland mates we should make sure that the treasures within the lake and the lake itself aren't lost inside our generation.
