Youth Awareness Environmental Forum (YAEF) is a community
based non-profit (Media) mem-bership organization established
in 1994 A.D. This YAEF is concerned with Environment aware-ness
in the masses & performs social work. YAEF organizes various
programs for & with local communities with objective of
improving live hood & security of local people, empowering
them & enhancing conservation efforts. It works on the
different parts of the rural areas, mainly in envi-ronment
sector. One of the key focus areas of the forum is to create
public awareness on the environmental issues. This will be
done through the conduction of seminars & workshop, through
articles by our own press on the result of the programs. One
area for awareness creation will as such be how to reduce
the air pollution origination from petrol, diesel & LPG
Vehicles in the valley. This will be done by dissemination
of information on the environmental & economical problems
caused by the adulteration by the fuel.
Beside this, the forum has been launching different programs.
Like safe & pure drinking water, also Nature Conservation
as well as protection of Bio-diversity in Nepal. The forum
was the first to raise the voice regarding pollution induced
by tempos, run under diesel in Kathmandu valley. We actively
participated against it & worked for the total banning
of tempos run under diesel.
The forum actively involved against the use of plastic. We
plead His majesty’s Government to use less than 20 microns.
Our forum urges people to use cotton mask as protection form
air & dust pollution. Likewise further programs on health,
sanitation & other environment-related fields publish
magazines, pamphlets & parches to aware people on environment.
Although the goals are unlimited, our forum focus on three
primary objectives:
- Improving livelihood & security of local people.
- Enhancing Environment Conservation &.
- Empowering local people.
