Introductory meeting with communities of Dakshinkali

On 29 September 2023, we held a short introductory meeting with the communities of Dakshinkali Municipality, ward-7, to introduce our project. During the meeting, we discussed about global community conservation practices, our project activities, and got the communities’ input on our project activities.

We will be working with the communities of Dakshinkali Municipality Ward-7 for our Community Conservation Project with special focus on leopards and reducing potential human-wildlife conflict.

Our project is supported by Community Conservation, Inc. and RPCVs of Wisconsin-Madison.

Teri Allendorf talks about different global community conservation practices that she and her organization, Community Conservation, Inc.. is supporting.
Bidhan Adhikary demonstrate the use of camera traps in wildlife monitoring. We will be training community in the use of camera traps and using camera traps to find out the wildlife in Gopaleswor Community Forest.
Bidhan Adhikary explains our plan about the project.
Sakar Subedi explains how the project was initiated. He was our first contact to the local community after he reported frequent leopard sightings around his home.
The locals were curious about the camera traps and they were very enthusiastic after seeing some videos from camera traps.
