Nepal's unique geography, with associated variations in the physiographic and climatic conditions, has resulted in rich biodiversity.

​

There are over 22,000 species reported from Nepal i.e., 1.3% of the global biodiversity. In richness of flowering plant species, the country holds 27th position in the world and 10th in Asia.

​

At the species level, the rapid change along the environmental gradient can result in a huge loss of such species. Biodiversity loss is a critical issue that needs to be addressed urgently.

​

Slaughtering and poaching activities are among the major causes of this problem. It is important to take action to prevent these activities and protect our planet's precious wildlife.

​

Hosting film screenings can be a powerful tool for grassroots advocacy. Not only do they bring people together for discussion, but they can also help grow your ranks, raise awareness, and create important personal connections. 

​

Thus as an awareness initiative, the screening program was initiated.
