Summary
Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve IBA harbours 26 globally threatened bird species and important for grassland and wetland dependent bird species. Local communities living close to KTWR are dependent on natural resources for their livelihoods and use natural resources unsustainably. Therefore, this project aims to promote sustainable use of natural resources, reduce threats to wetland and grassland dependent bird species and improve well-being of local communities through involving local communities in sustainable
management of these resources and sustainable livelihood enhancement programs.
