Greenhood Nepal – for people and wildlife

Saving threatened and neglected wildlife

We help protect Nepal’s wildlife with a special focus on most threatened but traditionally often neglected wildlife species

Science-driven conservation action

We pilot and lead conservation on-the-ground, integrating the latest science with local knowledge to help people and wildlife to co-exist and thrive

Education and awareness using creative media

We do targeted communication campaigns to promote biodiversity conservation and drive behaviour change using creative media

Our Values

Our work is guided by three key values. These help us to meet our mission of protecting biodiversity, in ways that respect local communities, embrace science, and empower others to safeguard nature.

Lead with science

We prioritize science-led conservation, monitoring and evaluation. All of our on-the-ground work integrates research that builds knowledge to guide better conservation practice, and simultaneously helps to build the capacity of early-career colleagues. Our research places particular importance on the social dimension of conservation.

Lend a helping hand to others

Conservation must empower groups that have been traditionally under-represented in the sector, including women, Indigenous communities, young people, and the rural communities who live alongside wildlife. We support others to engage in conservation, and help to ensure that rural livelihoods, and experiences are central to policy and practice.

Speak truth to power

Nepal faces a rapidly changing environment, a complex political landscape, and frequent development-conservation trade-offs. In response, we use our science and position to speak publicly about challenging and controversial issues that are central to the survival of biodiversity and rural communities.
