The real story behind Nepal’s wildlife conservation success | 101 East Documentary

In the 1960s, Nepal's one-horned rhino population had plummeted to less than 100, with poachers threatening it with extinction.
Yet Nepal's latest rhino census reveals something remarkable - the number of rhinos has grown to 752.
The rise is attributed to one of the world's toughest anti-poaching approaches, mixed with innovative community-based conservation efforts.
And this success is not limited to the rhino - with the Himalayan nation close to tripling its tiger population in 2022.
101 East investigates one of the greatest conservation success stories in Asia and asks if it is sustainable.

Greetings from Nepal bro ❤️

Congratulations Nepal. Most of the people are very humble and well-behaved. As you have made a good success in wildlife conservations , also do care your indigenous people . Because both of them are precious and create a symbiotic relationship.

The journalist has made a really contradictory statement saying Nepal as the poorest country. It’s baseless and bias. Nepal is definitely not a developed nation but is absolutely self sufficient, there are no slums and homeless citizen like shown on various medias in other known countries.

I'm from Chitwan. I respect the Nepalese army and locals for making conservation efforts successful. The cruelties of the Nepalese army may have been the case 20 years before but it is definitely not happening now (given we have a different political system now). Indegenous communities have been troubled because of wildlife but I love that Nepalese have realized we have a small price to pay for better future of endangered species.

Those saying mentioning Nepal's economic condition is irrevelent should understand that this spreads caution to the entire world. If Nepal, with limited economic resources can make such progress with wildlife conservation, why can't the countries with rich economy do it? They simply don't care enough.

thanks but i might wanna remind you, Nepal is not at all the poorest country in Asia. Nepal is just economically primitive. No Nepali citizens ever had faced situations to beg or sleep in a footpath. Nepali people are blessed by the inherited wellbeing and influences. People in Nepal work hard, but the only thing is, Nepali people don't commercialize their workability. People work in the fields, they grow their own crop and they eat it and feed their families, they don't sell it in the market to earn money.

My suggestion to any reputed media is to never send any indian journalist to Nepal. Just because they are our neighbors doesn't mean they are clear and to the point. Most of the time they are very biased and controversial. They like to project the things from their prospective. As a Nepali and a man from the chitwan area I can relate to most of the things on this documentary but there are a lot of things which I found very baised. We do love our land and our wild animals. And our government has done a lot things for both the people and the animals to benefit. If anybody wants to get a clear and unbiased view on this topic, I suggest to come to my country and spend the time with the locals and know about them. Peace to you all
