Forests are the backbone of life on Earth. They regulate climate, protect water resources, support biodiversity, and sustain millions of people. Nepalβs forests from the lowland Terai to the high Himalayas are among the most biologically rich ecosystems in the world. Yet these forests face growing threats from deforestation, illegal logging, land-use change, and climate impacts.
At IRSC, we work to conserve forests and protect biodiversity through research, technology, and community-led solutions.
