Supported By: Norwegian Ornithological Society (NOF) in conjunction with Bird Conservation Nepal (BCN) is implementing a 2 year project in 3 Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) of Nepal. The co-operation between NOF and BCN is based on our mutual dedication and commitment to conserving birds, their habitats and biodiversity, and working with people towards sustainability in the utilisation of natural resources.

Darwin Initiative's project on "Understanding, Assessing and Monitoring of ecosystem services for better biodiversity conservation" is currently being implemented by Bird Conservation Nepal in three Important Bird Areas (IBAs) with the support of Birdlife International. The main objective of the programme is to build the capacity of BCN and BirdLife Partners in other Asian countries to collect and use information on ecosystem services for better biodiversity conservation. The programme will run from April 2010 to March 2013.
