Travelling theatre
Vultures and their habitat, and conservation efforts by the communities in the places we traveled were the focus and highlight of the trip we, CYF: Life Vision Academy students and Roots & Shoots Nepal took in February 2023.
Traveling to the first-of-its-kind restaurant for vultures. A community-powered vulture feeding center that not only focuses on the conservation of this species of birds but also engages the community into aiding it, while giving back to the community in many different ways. D B Chaudhary, the founder of Jatayu Restaurant elaborates.
As the vulture flies
Our travels from this year...
During the winter of 2023, students of CYF: Life Vision Academy and Roots & Shoots club members, went across the East of Terai to places where vultures are now thriving, and are being cared for, and also to Koshi Tappu, a bird conservation area to learn more about the birds we have been studying for more than a year and also to show what we learned and prepared as a theatrical production.
