Govt, WWF Nepal launch rangeland conservation project in Dolpa
Nepal’s government and WWF Nepal have launched a four‑year project to conserve high‑altitude rangelands in upper Dolpa, focusing on biodiversity and local livelihoods.
The Government of Nepal, in partnership with WWF Nepal, has started a four‑year rangeland conservation initiative in upper Dolpa. The project aims to protect fragile high‑altitude ecosystems, support traditional pastoral livelihoods, and safeguard indigenous cultural practices tied to grazing lands. It will involve community‑based monitoring, improved pasture management, and measures to reduce human‑wildlife conflict for species such as snow leopards and blue sheep. The initiative also seeks to strengthen local institutions and integrate climate resilience into rangeland governance, helping communities adapt to changing snow and rainfall patterns in the Himalayas.
