During my years living and working in Nepal in the flora and fauna of this Himalayan country. The huge variation in altitude from the flat area bordering India, to the high Himalayan region means there is an astonishing variety of species. Conservation has recently become more important especially to the younger generation of educated Nepalis. Cooperation with neighbouring countries such as Bhutan and India and also reforestation has led to biological corridors becoming re-established. Tigers, snow leopards and red pandas are starting to benefit from this

About Elizabeth Cozens

I am a retired Science teacher who returned just before the pandemic from several years living and working in Asia. In Nepal I worked in 7 different regions around the country from the flat southern region bordering India to the high Himalayas close to the Tibetan plateau. In Nepal, while travelling around to improve local schools, I developed my love of birdwatching and became very interested in the flora and fauna of the region. I have also lived and worked in Bangladesh as well as travelling extensively worldwide. I love sharing my experiences including my recovery from cancer diagnosed in 2012
