Nepal has many wonderful natural resources, and it is particularly known for its lush green forests. Unfortunately these wonders of nature are fast becoming depleted for two key reasons. Firstly, the nation has become seriously over-dependent on them for daily survival, and secondly, the majority of local people simply don’t understand or think about the long term consequences of deforestation at its current rate.
The RCDP Nepal nature conservation program is helping to tackle this issue in several ways. Existing Nepal's indigenous species conservation efforts are supported by offering free tree seedlings for planting, while teaching local people key points about the importance of conservation. This is the perfect opportunity for those looking for meaningful environmental volunteer opportunities abroad.
This environmental conservation volunteer in Nepal program is located in the rural village of Chitwan; the ideal place to enjoy the natural beauty of this country. Nature conservation volunteering involves various tasks, so you will get hands-on experience of preparing nursery beds, sowing seeds, and weeding, trimming, pruning, and thinning various indigenous tree species.
The planted seedlings are grown and nurtured by our volunteers, then later they will be distributed at no charge to villages in other parts of Nepal. Depending on the season, additional tasks may include planting, collecting seeds, replanting, eliminating diseased trees, and inventorying fauna and flora. Your work in this conservation area of Nepal is extremely valuable, and each day you are there helps to create and safeguard a self-sufficient future for the people of this wonderful country.
No specific qualifications are needed to join our Nature Conservation Volunteer Nepal. However, some insight into Nepalese culture and at least a basic understanding of the language will make for an even more rewarding experience. It is worth looking at joining the one week language studies and cultural immersion program we offer before joining this useful and life changing environmental conservation project in Nepal.
Please note that many of the biodiversity conservation in Nepal projects are quite physical, so our conservation volunteers must be in good physical shape. You should also be enthusiastic and a self-starter, yet be able to follow directions well.
