Working with local communities to protect Nepal's flora and fauna—and the landscapes that sustain them.
BIOCOS-Nepal is a science-led conservation organisation working in partnership with local communities. We transform long-term research into practical conservation action alongside people who share their landscapes with wildlife. By focusing on flagship species, we help protect entire landscapes, their habitats and associated biodiversity.
We use flagship species as pathways to protect entire landscapes, linking biodiversity conservation with community well-being. By safeguarding priority species and their habitats, we conserve wider ecosystems, strengthen local stewardship and support communities living alongside wildlife.
BIOCOS Nepal's field programs are made possible through partnership with conservation funders and allied organisations. We are highly thankful to our supporters.
From scientific research to community-led field action, our work protects threatened species and associated biodiversity, supports human–wildlife coexistence and strengthens conservation across Nepal’s diverse landscapes.
