Shuklaphanta, the other wild Nepal

Nestled in the heart of Nepal, the Shuklaphanta Reserve is a treasure trove of biodiversity, established as the country's first national park in 1973. Its stunning landscapes, resembling a blend of Europe and Africa, are home to hundreds of animal species, including 22 critically endangered ones. This small paradise has endured despite human pressure, serving as a vital safe haven for wildlife. However, the balance between nature and humanity is delicate. Associations and park rangers tirelessly work to educate local communities on the importance of coexisting with nature. Together, they prove that when the quality of life improves for nearby inhabitants, the temptation to exploit forests diminishes, paving the way for a brighter future for this extraordinary kingdom.
