Conservation Project Nepal
(Trip code: NPL5

Deforestation, land fragmentation, and desertification are major environmental problems that Nepal is facing. Rustic Volunteer Travel 's partner in Chitwan has established a community nursery program aiming to distribute indigenous tree seedlings for free to local farmers, schools, communities, and NGOs

As a volunteer in the conservation work project in Nepal , you support the activities of this community nursery. This is a perfect project for environmental enthusiasts and who are committed to environment conservation and, moreover, who are willing to devote their time and wealth to ensure the program's success. Volunteers/travelers will have the unique opportunity to be a part of something that will benefit the region as well as its next generation.
