True environmental stewardship, zero-waste circularity, and long-term sustainability are deeply rooted in traditional ecological knowledge. From protecting vital habitats to fostering circular systems that restore rather than deplete, Indigenous communities have long led the way in living in complete harmony with nature.

As we look toward a greener, more resilient world, let's advocate conservation practices that uphold this balance, honor local stewardship, and protect the shared natural heritage that sustains us all.

Today, we celebrate cats in all their formsโ€”from the companions in our homes to the wild felines that roam Nepalโ€™s forests, grasslands, wetlands, and mountains.

Nepal is home to 12 species of wild cats, each playing an important role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. These include the Royal Bengal Tiger, Common Leopard, Snow Leopard, Clouded Leopard, Asiatic Golden Cat, Eurasian Lynx, Pallasโ€™s Cat, Jungle Cat, Leopard Cat, Fishing Cat, Marbled Cat, and Rusty-spotted Cat.

They are also an irreplaceable part of Nepalโ€™s natural heritage and biodiversity.

Our ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐œ ๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ฌ are equally deserving of care and compassion. As beloved companions in our communities, their welfare depends on responsible ownership, including appropriate veterinary care, vaccination, sterilization, adequate nutrition, and a safe environment.

At the same time, free-roaming domestic cats can interact with native wildlife. ๐‘๐ž๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐ฉ๐ž๐ญ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ ๐œ๐š๐ง ๐ก๐ž๐ฅ๐ฉ ๐ซ๐ž๐๐ฎ๐œ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฌ๐ž ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ฌ while ensuring the health and well-being of our companion animals.

Today, Nepal proudly announced that our wild tiger population has reached 429, according to the 5th National Tiger Survey 2026. This remarkable achievement reflects the dedication of the Government of Nepal, protected area staff, local communities, conservation partners, and all those committed to safeguarding our natural heritage.

Tigers are apex predators and play a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. By regulating prey populations, they help preserve forests, protect biodiversity, support eco-tourism, and ensure ecological balance. Conserving tigers means conserving nature and securing a sustainable future for generations to come.
Killing a tiger is a serious crime in Nepal.

Circularity is not only for businesses or policymakers. It is something we can all practice in how we use, care for, and value the things around us.

These choices may seem simple, but they are part of a much bigger transition. One that moves away from a throwaway culture toward systems designed to last, regenerate, and benefit both people and planet.

Through the EU-funded Roots of Circularity (RoC) programme, we are working to support this shift at every level, from individual behaviour to enterprise innovation and policy change.

Our learning series explores how these everyday practices connect to the broader circular economy, and what it takes to make this transition possible in Nepal.

Wildlife Conservation Nepal (WCN), through the Roots of Circularity (RoC) project funded by the European Union (EU), teamed up with Rekriti to bring the Upcycle Mela to Prime College!

From start to finish, the campus was buzzing. Students dove headfirst into Rekritiโ€™s sustainable showcase, put their creativity to the test in the wire upcycling workshop, and got a real eye-opener during our decomposition rate challenge.

It was proof that when student passion meets circular action, real impact happens. Massive thanks to Rekriti and every students and faculties who came out and made the day unforgettable!

Circular Economy is often seen as a modern, Western concept. But in reality, it reflects ways of living that have existed in Nepal for generations.

What is changing today is the context. Rapid urbanisation, industrialisation, and shifting consumption patterns are putting pressure on these systems and this is where the opportunity lies.

Through the EU-funded Roots of Circularity (RoC) programme, we are working to reconnect these traditional practices with modern systems, supporting enterprises, policymakers, and communities to build on what already exists and scale it for todayโ€™s challenges.

Our learning series explores these connections in more depth, showing how traditional knowledge and modern circular approaches can come together to shape a more resilient future for Nepal.
