About Us

Who are we?

Third Pole Conservancy (TPC) is a non-governmental and non-profit organization established by a team of young wildlife researchers and conservationists from Nepal with the aim of promoting science-based conservation of wildlife and its habitat in Nepal Himalaya.

TPC is dedicated to safeguard the future of wildlife through scientific research and community outreach programmes. TPC aims to conserve wildlife through people participation by developing and promoting local citizen scientist through necessary training and skill development schemes. TPC works with local schools in remote communities engaging young school children making them aware on wildlife conservation through informal classes and extra-curricular activities which not only benefit their education but also have positive impacts on the people and wildlife of their communities. Besides wildlife research and conservation, TPC also works on several other themes like human-wildlife conflict mitigation, livelihood improvement, climate change, biodiversity conservation and nature-based tourism.

TPC acknowledges that conservation is as much a social science as it is an ecological one. We understand that to effectively reduce threats to wildlife and their habitats, we must work together with people and empower communities to become champions of biodiversity protection. In brief, TPC’s mission is a harmonious balance of ecological stewardship and community engagement, working hand in hand to ensure a future where wildlife and their habitats flourish in Nepal.
