Hello Milan :) its good seeing you posting articles and information about Nepal. Yes we are rich in bio-diversity which is a matter of proud but yet we are lacking on its protection, we are the responsible youth for it. You can join on the project i am planning to do in Nepal about Eco-Transportation, through the science exhibition at Western Regional Engineering College.
