Biodiversity
Conservation.
Nepal's landscapes — from snowcapped high Himalayas to wide fertile valleys — are home to extraordinary biodiversity. Help us protect forests, wetlands, freshwater systems, and soils.
As a volunteer, you'll help Nepal and the local communities in protecting forests and wetlands, freshwater systems, and soils, all of which are directly linked to global challenges like ocean health, carbon emissions, global warming, and food security. By joining, you become part of a global solution. Local actions — conserving forests, rivers, and soils — ripple outward to protect oceans, stabilize the climate, and secure organic food supplies for humanity.
Freshwater Conservation
- Freshwater ecosystems sustain communities, agriculture, environment, and countless species.
- Conserving rivers and lakes reduce pollution and sediment runoff, which flows into the oceans, safeguarding marine life.
- Healthy freshwater river systems ensure reliable irrigation and strengthen food security.
Forest & Biodiversity Conservation
- Forests act as massive carbon sinks, absorbing CO₂ and slowing global warming.
- They provide habitats for endangered species and keystone species of the region, maintaining ecological balance.
- Forests regulate rainfall patterns, influencing agriculture and climate stability globally.
- Preventing deforestation reduces carbon emissions and supports resilient and sustainable food systems.
Soil Conservation
- Soil conservation prevents erosion, maintains fertility, and ensures sustainable farming.
- Healthy soils store carbon, lowering greenhouse gases.
- Soil protection reduces sedimentation in rivers, protecting aquatic life and ocean ecosystems.
- Sustainable soil management is vital for long-term food security.
Global Connections
- Ocean health: Cleaner rivers mean healthier oceans — our planet can only exist if all parts of it are healthy.
- Carbon emissions: Forests and soils absorb carbon, reducing emissions. Carbon in the atmosphere doesn't require permission to cross borders.
- Global warming: Conservation efforts stabilize climate systems. Heat waves in Europe have a direct link to melting glaciers in the Himalayas.
- Food security: Healthy ecosystems ensure sustainable agriculture for future generations.
