Wiki Loves Birds- Phase II

After the success of the first phase, we again plan to run the second phase of Wiki Loves Birds, collaborating with Bird Conservation Nepal (BCN), an organization that has been working on the conservation of birds, their habitats, and sites since 1982. We also collaborated with special interest groups, including reputed bird experts, wildlife photographers, and researchers. As a result of this collaboration, we get help and support from Mr. Vimal Thapa (Vice-President of Bird Conservation Nepal and bird expert), Mr. Ramesh Chaudhary (Board Member of Bird Conservation Nepal and bird expert), and Mr. Jaya Nath Bhandari (Member of Bird Conservation Nepal and bird expert).
