Asta-Ja is a theoretically grounded grassroots-based planning and management framework for conservation, development, and utilization of natural and human resources.
Asta-Ja means eight of the Nepali letter “Ja” [Jal (water), Jamin (land), Jungle (forest), Jadibuti (medicinal and aromatic plants), Janashakti (manpower), Janawar, (animals), Jarajuri (crop plants), and Jalabayu (climate)]. Asta-Ja promotes accelerated economic growth and socio-economic transformation of the nation.
It is a scientific, holistic, systematic, self-reliant, and multidisciplinary framework for the conservation, development, and utilization of Asta-Ja resources.
The eight elements of the Asta-Ja system are very intricately linked and strongly connected. Hence, it is important to have sustainable conservation and development of each of the eight elements of Asta-Ja for better functioning of the entire system.

The Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) has submitted a complaint to the RAMSAR Secretariat, requesting that the body investigates the destruction of wetlands in the Codrington Lagoon National Park on Barbuda.
GLAN, in a release, said it submitted evidence of the destruction to the Geneva-based body that oversees the implementation of the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance to which Antigua and Barbuda is a signatory.
The group has asked the secretariat to urgently intervene by arranging an independent advisory mission to visit and advise on ongoing and future threats to the protected wetlands.
