Recognition is more than just acknowledging someone's efforts or achievements; it's about valuing their presence and contribution in a meaningful way
I interned during my geography studies at the University of Cologne, gaining hands-on experience in conservation and sustainability. Field trips revealed wildlife research challenges, while office work highlighted sustainable tourism.This internship enhanced my skills and commitment to global environmental responsibility.
In 2015, Wildlife Research Techniques Training sparked my passion for conservation. My time with FON taught me values of consistency, dedication, and humility, which now guide me as an Early Career Climate Fellow at the UNFCCC and UNU in Bonn, Germany.
Interning was unforgettable. I joined brilliant programs, including the 2023 Nepal Owl Festival in Ghodaghodi and learned about conservation challenges firsthand. Working with the dedicated staff deepened my passion for wildlife and conservation. I’m grateful for the opportunity and wish I could have stayed longer!
My biology career began with an internship in November 2015, focusing on fruit bat conservation, Nepal Owl Festival and the camera-trapping project. This experience shaped my academic path, leading to a master’s degree in the U.S. and a Ph.D. program.
