Nepal's Zero Poaching Standard
Posted on 02 October 2018
Nepal made headway in the fight against poaching and illegal wildlife trade with the achievement of 365 days of zero poaching of rhinos for the first time in 2011. Till 2018, Nepal was successful in celebrating zero poaching year of rhinos on five occasions. At the heart of this conservation milestone is the country’s successful implementation of the Zero Poaching Toolkit spearheaded by WWF to help national and state agencies, protected area managers, rangers and other frontline protection staff close gaps in anti-poaching efforts.
