Nepal has grown to be one of the most popular South Asian destinations for bird lovers and photographers. Though comparatively small in terms of landmass; the diverse topography and geography makes it home to 889 species of migratory and endemic birds representing 8% of the world's known avian species. Among those species, 32 of them are endangered.

 

Nepal is home to diverse floral and faunal species, natural ecosystems, ranging from lowland Terai region to the high Himalayas. This altitudinal variation makes for a good habitat for resident and migrant bird species. Though the country occupies approximately 0.1 percent of the global area it harbors 3.2% and 1.1% of the world’s known flora and fauna, respectively.

 

Nepal established its Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation in 1980 to conserve and manage wildlife and biodiversity. It has grown a wide network of Protected Areas system with 12 National Parks, 1 Wildlife Reserve, 1 Hunting Reserve, 6 Conservation Areas, and 13 Buffer Zones covering 23.39 % of the country's landmass.
