Camera traps in Nepal
Terai Arc Landscape
Poaching, overgrazing, unsustainable water projects and a number of other threats are degrading the grassland habitat and its wildlife.
Working to ensure that people and wildlife coexist, the Terai Arc Landscape project - a partnership between the government of Nepal and WWF Nepal - is connecting protected areas in Nepal and India to promote conservation and sustainable livelihoods.
WWF, together with local partners, also works throughout the country to strengthen anti-poaching efforts, and to reduce threats to the natural habitat.
The last rhino count - conducted in 2005 by WWF Nepal, Nepal’s Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation, and the National Trust for Nature Conservation - revealed that poaching and a lack of adequate protection are contributing to a decline in the country’s population.
WWF has worked for the protection of the endangered species in Nepal since 1967, and continues to support the government of Nepal in its conservation efforts.
WWF works closely with wildlife officials in Nepal on snow leopard conservation.
