Mission
To monitor and protect the tiger population
What it reported doing in 2025
Participatory anti-poaching unit(papu-bardia): this program is one of the main community-based anti poaching initiatives in bardia national park, implemented in partnership with the national trust for nature conservation. It focuses on controlling illegal wildlife poaching in buffer zones and corridor habitats by involving local youths in anti-poaching operations alongside national park management staff and armed park securities forces. The project helps establish community-based anti-poaching units(cbapus) under the supervision of buffer zone user committees and national park management. The program provides training, field gear, communication tools, snacks during patrols, and covers maintenance costs for bicycles and fuel for motorbikes and vehicles used in anti-poaching activities.
