Founded in 2000,
Himalayan Nature is an
international
conservation
research institute, initiating
scientific research on Himalayan
floral and faunal diversity and
the broader environment. It is
an independent, not-for-profit
organization actively working on
emerging issues related to
the conservation of natural
resources, and the improvement
of living conditions of
people in the Himalayan region.
Himalayan Nature
is a science-based organization
and takes an independent view of
biodiversity conservation
issues. We provide scientific
advice on aspects of
environmental management to
government authorities and other
concerned nature conservation
organizations. Periodically, we release
statements to help improve
awareness among the public and policy
makers of environmental situations. The
organization is supported by
internationally renowned
scientists who have long
experience of the natural
history and ecology of the Himalayan region.
We
work closely with other
research and conservation
organizations within and outside
Nepal, complementing
their work and exchanging data.
The wide
geographic coverage of the
organization's work includes the
northern part of India, Nepal,
and Pakistan, the whole of
Bhutan, southeast Tibet and the
northern part of Myanmar.
However most of our work is in Nepal and India.
We are based in Kathmandu and have
three field study centers in
Nepal, in Koshi, Chitwan and Lumbini.
We collaborate with
several community-based
organizations working in higher
altitude environments.
We can be
contacted at the address given in this web page for
further enquiries. We appreciate any
assistance or advice that helps achieve the goals
of Himalayan Nature.
