We do critical researches to identify challenges faced by raptors, monitor population and breeding biology, engage people to mitigate major challenges to protect raptors in the Himalayan region.
Population monitoring
Raptor population monitoring is crucial to assess the status of species supports to develop appropriate conservation strategy.
Engage People
We educate communities and students on the importance of raptors and their role on ecosystem services and also provide them a firsthand experience while working in the field
Engage Graduate Students
We also engage graduate students to train and support to develop their career as raptor scientists who could play vital role for the conservation of raptors
Mitigate challenges
We support population growth of raptors through the mitigation of major threats they face
40% of Nepal's raptors are either Globally Threatened or Near-Threatened
Over 53% of raptors are Nationally Threatened or Near-Threatened
