🌿✨ International Day of Peace 2025 ✨🌿

True peace is more than the absence of conflict ..it’s about living in harmony with each other and with nature. 🌍🕊️

On this Peace Day, let’s remember that even small actions of kindness, compassion, and care for the Earth can create a brighter and more peaceful future for all beings.

The one day stakeholders’ discussion session in Brdibas highlighted some key issues around Chure conservation. We knew that this was not the end of the campaign but one step forward to creating and collaborating in protecting Chure, Bhawar and Tarai. A long way to go and not a minute to spare. Thank you all the ministries, municipalities , mayors , Armed police force, Nepal army , governmental agencies , district coordination committees from all 8 districts along with campaigners, activists and journalists for joining this dialogue and signing the manifesto.

Chure conservation has been an integral part of our work. The habitat not only holds water for the population downstream but also is one of the major region that holds biodiversity. The need for its conservation is vital and urgent and this declaration will add as a catalyst to address this complex but very important issue.

It was an absolute honor to welcome and host Baroness Hayman, UK Minister, DEFRA (Department of Food, Environment and Rural Affairs) at our rewilding project in Swayambhu. She planted native trees in our pocket food forest and we had a long conversation about animal welfare, culture and the ways both of our countries are similar in terms of understanding the importance of rewilding degenerated spaces. We started out pocket forest at swayambhu in 2023 and throughout these 20 months the forest has grown beautifully. The first successful model at swayambhu , this initiative has opened doors to other collaborations and other organizations to bring back the biodiversity to the region.
