Wildlife Conservation Nepal (WCN) supports biodiversity and nature conservation by bringing together local communities, civil society, scientists, conservation line agencies, and other development stakeholders with a focus on awareness, education, advocacy, capacity building, research, and sound policies. WCN's Nepal Prakriti Pathshala, or Nepal Nature School, is an educational service that makes environmental education more interactive, accessible and innovative. They create publicly available curricula, lesson plans, training materials, and other resources and are helping to institutionalize interactive environmental education in Nepal's school system. They also developed Nepal's first wildlife crime database, actively monitor illegal wildlife trade, and share information with enforcement agencies. Public engagement initiatives include a wildlife and nature photography program and a citizen science for conservation program. WCN participates in a number of conservation networks including the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Global Tiger Fund.
