About Us
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.
