Wild Cats Series 2024

About the 2024 Cohort

The Wild Cats Series 2024 was held in the cultural village of Dhanusha District, bringing together 14 enthusiastic participants from diverse educational backgrounds. The three-day in-house orientation programme focused on strengthening participants’ knowledge of wild cats, their conservation needs, research methods, and conservation education.

The series also gave participants practical experience in camera-trap installation, community survey methods and outreach activities in schools and communities. After the training, participants continued across Nepal’s Terai region to share their learning, raise awareness and support wild cat conservation through community-based outreach.
