About Conservation Alliance

A group of professionals with illustrious background in different fields such as ecology, protected area management, security forces, crime control, media, civil service came together with the realization that conservation can be strengthened by independently backstopping the government in the field of conservation education, conservation policy, and strategy, biodiversity conservation, wildlife crime control, human-wildlife conflict, climate change issues, among others, by generating scientific information, policy analysis documents and advocacy. Hence, it was formally agreed in June 2024 to establish Conservation Alliance Nepal to work in the field of biodiversity conservation, conservation policy and strategy, wildlife crime control, human-wildlife conflict, environmental advocacy, and climate change issues.
