The Terai Fishing Cat Project, founded in 2012, is an initiative dedicated to the study, conservation, and ecological understanding of fishing cats in the Terai region of Nepal. With a strong focus on data-driven research and evidence-based findings, the project aims to shed light on the lesser-known aspect of fishing cats and contribute to its long-term survival in Nepal. This employs the use of modern technologies like GPS satellite collars and camera traps. Despite their ecological significance, fishing cats have received limited attention from researchers, conservationists and relevant authorities. The information thus gathered are expected to bridge this knowledge gap enabling tailored conservation effort and formulation of appropriate management plans. Besides, the project is also working to reduce the threats to fishing cats in the adjoining buffer zone of Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve in Eastern Nepal. To develop a sense of appreciation for small wild cats, particularly fishing cats, and promote co-existence, the project has adopted a unique idea of mobilizing volunteers from all fishing cats ranges of Nepal that actively conducts community and school outreach programs and awareness campaigns.
