I got to know Kathy when she supported producing local language field guides through World Bank grant in early 2000. With her and other colleagues' support, we successfully produced Birds of Nepal and Wild Mammals of Nepal field guides in Nepali language promoting public appreciation of nature and building a broader base for nature conservation in Nepal (and in the greater region!). She supported many grassroots small organisations, a rare human quality in today's world. My deepest condolences.
