Wildlife Conservation Nepal (WCN) had held their Nature and Wildlife Photography Contest/ Exhibition from 16- 18 Jan. last month at the Nepal Tourism Board hall. The photo contest had been organized to raise awareness as well as funds for conservation work in Nepal.

More than 65 people took part in the contest, including a group of grade 2 students from Alka Lower Secondary School.

The best 10 photographs were printed as greeting cards available in sets of 10 as well as single copies. WCN had hoped the sale of these cards would be a major part of raising funds.
