Research is an ongoing and regular, but a never ending process. It always has synergy effects to advance the society. In the research belongs to nature conservation, researchers always cultivate their knowledge aiming betterment of the society and nature at large. Even though a very few people know the importance of research, it has extra-ordinary contribution to scale-up the knowledge, understanding the people and make advance and civilize society as a whole.
The government of Nepal has very poor priority to research. The government rarely allocates the money for research, while many Nepalese young researchers have been getting huge amount of research fund from various international research foundations across the globe. Among the various research foundations; Rufford Small Grant Foundation (RSGF) is the prominent one. The latest information shows that more than 63 Nepali nationals have been getting more than 86 small grants and implementing their research projects at various parts of the country. The foundation is supporting to carry out the research and their capacity building to various research topics. The data shows that most of the researches supported by Rufford are related wildlife conservation particularly protected area system of Nepal. However, it was widely observed that even though some of the researchers are doing very good research, their research results have poor linkages to the government system of protected area management. Our analysis was even though the researchers have been carried out their research independently, but they are doing their research in isolation and has poor relation to policy and planning process. According to the government system particularly by law, each researcher should take the permission from the concern authority. Similarly, the researchers should implement their research in close coordination with government officials and submit their research report to the authority. Always, the research aims to support government authorities that the authorities could utilize the research results in planning and policy formulation process. If the researchers do their research in isolation and government authorities are unknown to the research, then it is difficult to tell precisely whether the researches contributed to conservation or not even the researches are very good in report.
Therefore, it is highly crucial to bring the entire researchers at a forum and share their research results and derived knowledge together. This proposal expected that presentation of all RSGF grantees research results in front of other researchers and government officials will verify their results, provide an opportunity to share and know each other and finally provide a ground to policy-makers and planners in policy designing and planning. It was also expected to help each other particularly policy-makers and researchers alike to understand the government system while carrying out the research particularly research permission and reporting mechanism. It was also supposed to make easier to the young researchers and government policy-makers to develop practical collaborative research in the days to come.
