Terai Fishing Cat Project, Nepal

Meet our team member Aashish Pokhrel 🧡💚

Aashish Pokhrel began his journey with the Terai Fishing Cat Project as a participant in the Wild Cats Series 2024, which inspired him to conserve and protect the elusive fishing cat.

Since then, he has been actively involved in community-based conservation by raising awareness about the ecological importance of fishing cats. He has also collaborated with local governments and Wild Care Nepal, bringing together students from 14 schools and other key stakeholders to learn about fishing cat conservation.

Through field surveys, camera trap installation, and community engagement, Aashish has gained a deeper understanding of the threats facing fishing cats and the urgent need to protect them. These experiences have strengthened his commitment to continue working in wildlife conservation.

Working closely with communities that share their landscapes with fishing cats has also helped him understand the importance of promoting peaceful human–wildlife coexistence and the vital role local people play in conserving this remarkable species.

World Wetlands Day

Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth. They support rich biodiversity, regulate water, reduce floods, store carbon, and sustain millions of people through fisheries, agriculture, and livelihoods.

From microscopic organisms to top predators, and from local communities to global climate systems, wetlands connect all life.

Protecting wetlands is not a choice, it’s a responsibility.
