Unfortunately, despite being one of the natural paradises, the precious natural resources are deteriorating due to extreme poverty, unsustainable farming practices, climate change, alleged corruption, increase in population and the over exploitation of natural resources. There is also a great lack of awareness among Nepali people concerning the negative effects of deforestation. Though there are several INGOs, NGOs and governmental organizations conducting various conservation activities, their efforts have not been adequate. Therefore, HHFN works in collaboration with the local government and interns around the globe to help protect the local environment.
This nature conservation internship program in Nepal works to sustain the environment through various projects that raise awareness, teach sustainable farming methods, improve ecotourism initiatives, teach the local communities eco-friendly practices and plantation of trees in the bare land. HHFN has also developed a concept of Permaculture techniques in the farm land and has aimed to develop the concept of Eco-village in different communities of Nepal.
