Red Panda Network

RPN was founded in 2007 with the mission to conserve wild red pandas and their habitat through education and empowerment of local communities, and has been working in Nepal from the very beginning. Realizing the acute threats to the red panda such as habitat degradation and fragmentation caused by overdependence on forest resource for subsistence livelihoods, unplanned developmental activities and poaching, RPN has devised both long-term and short-term strategies. The RPN’s outreach has already been extended in Nepal and Bhutan, and will incrementally replicate the learning in other red panda range countries which includes India, Myanmar and China.
