Together with local communities, we are saving orchids and yews in the mid-hills of Nepal. The journey has been full of learning, engaging in meaningful conversations, and witnessing communities actively protecting their natural resource.
We are thankful to @WhitleyAwards

May you rest in eternal peace <3

नेपालको कानुनले मयुरको प्वाँख किनबेच वर्जित गरेको छ।
साइटिस ऐन वमोजिम कसूरको मात्रा हेरी सो कार्य गरे १ देखि ५ वर्षसम्म कैद र २०,००० देखि १ लाख रुपैयाँसम्म जरिवाना वा दुवै सजाय हुन सक्छ।
सचेत बनौँ र वन्यजन्तु संरक्षणमा सहयोग गरौँ ।
