HISTORY
WWF Nepal has been supporting to the government and the communities in addressing conservation challenges in national conservation priority areas of the government since its work in Nepal. The site based NCPA are identified jointly by WWF and the Nepal Ministry of Forests and Environment.
Key NCPA issue-based interventions include capacity building, wildlife crime control, bilateral and regional cooperation, multilateral environment agreements, national policies on natural resources, environment, and sustainable development among others.
These interventions are identified based on contemporary issues in consultation with concerned stakeholders.
