BIOCOS Nepal’s conservation work is founded on scientific evidence. We conduct long-term research to understand where species occur, how their populations are changing, what threats they face and which conservation responses are most effective.
• Conduct systematic camera-trap surveys
• Monitor wildlife populations over time
• Survey species distribution and habitat use
• Count prey and indicator species
• Record direct sightings, signs and ecological information
• Collect non-invasive genetic samples
• Assess habitat condition and human disturbance
• Use drones, remote sensing and LiDAR where appropriate
• Apply responsible artificial-intelligence tools to wildlife images
• Collaborate with government agencies, universities and conservation institutions
• Publish findings in scientific journals, reports and conservation plans
Manang and Mustang
Long-term camera trapping, snow leopard identification, blue sheep counts and musk deer research help measure changes in high-mountain wildlife populations.
Dhaulagiri Landscape
Grid-based surveys, camera trapping, habitat assessments and field-sign studies help identify red panda distribution and important habitat connections.
Pipar Pheasant Conservation Landscape
Spring pheasant counts, patrol records and camera trapping monitor pheasants and other mammals and birds across the landscape.
Chitwan, Banke and Bardia landscapes
Household and stakeholder research helps BIOCOS Nepal understand human–tiger conflict, community attitudes, livelihood impacts and priority areas for intervention.
Pokhara Valley
Regular counts and livestream observations contribute to long-term information on vultures using safe feeding and perching sites.
