The first Community Learning Center setup by Mithila Wildlife Trust to provide additional educational support to the highly marginalized community in Terai region of Nepal has beed extended. The concept of Community Learning Center was started in 2014 in a temporary Thatched building which got the first set of 2 permanent rooms in 2021. The number of students kept increasing and we had to construct another set of CLC. The old CLC will serve students upto class 5the while new will serve class 6th to 10th. We’re grateful to the amazing supporter, Pipal Tree for continuous support in this success. Our team Mithila Wildlife Trust along with our Executive Director recently visited the newly extended community Learning (CLC) at Dhanusha Dham. The old CLC had served the community for year. With the requirement, as the more numbers of students been increasing day by day, We have added the new extension of old one. The new Community learning center is fully operational, providing a better learning environment for students. During our visit, we observed the ongoing teaching activities and the overall management of the center. It was inspiring to see students engaged in their lessons and the teachers putting in great efforts to create a meaningful learning experience. The new building offers improved facilities, creating a comfortable space for education and skill development with the other amenities. This visit made our belief in the importance of education and community learning in empowering local people even more effectively. We look forward to see the positive impact this new CLC will have on the community.

At Mithila Wildlife Trust, we believe that students play a crucial role in protecting nature and maintaining ecological balance. With this vision, we conducted an awareness session on snake rescue and management at Shree Parwati Anarwati Tetriwati Secondary School(Mithila Bihari -7 Tarapatti). During this session, students learned about the importance of snakes in our ecosystem, how to safely respond to encounters with snakes, and ways to reduce human-snake conflict. By educating young minds, we are building a future generation that understands and respects wildlife rather than fearing it. The enthusiasm and curiosity of the students made the session highly engaging. We are confident that these young conservationists will spread awareness in their communities and help create a safer and more wildlife-friendly environment. A big thank you to the school administration for their support and to all the students for their active participation. Together, let’s continue working towards a future where humans and wildlife coexist peacefully.

Founder of PIPAL TREE UK and founder of Mithila Wildlife Trust Siting a glass mosaic at the bird park Nestled near Mithila Bihari-3 Mithileshwar, Dhanusha Bird Park is a growing sanctuary dedicated to the conservation of rare and migratory birds. This park is designed not only as a refuge for endangered species but also as a key conservation site that protects the natural habitat from overgrazing and other environmental threats. A Safe Haven for Birds Dhanusha Bird Park serves as an essential rest stop for migratory birds and a permanent home for many rare species. By creating a diverse and dense forest environment, the park provides the perfect setting for birds to nest, breed, and thrive. The aim is to ensure that these birds, which are increasingly losing their natural habitats, have a safe place where they can continue their life cycles undisturbed. Ecotourism and Community Development Beyond conservation, the bird park is set to become a center for ecotourism. Visitors will be able to observe a wide variety of birds in their natural habitat while learning about their ecological importance. The park will also feature bird mosaics, with a goal of showcasing 100 unique mosaics, making it an attraction for bird lovers and art enthusiasts alike. This initiative will help boost local tourism and provide economic opportunities for the community. Protecting Nature for the Future The creation of this bird park also serves a larger environmental goal restoring and preserving the ecosystem. The area was once at risk due to overgrazing, which led to habitat destruction. Through reforestation and habitat management, Dhanusha Bird Park is ensuring that the land remains fertile and sustainable for both birds and other wildlife. Dhanusha Bird Park is more than just a conservation project; it is a vision for the future a place where people and nature can coexist in harmony. As the park continues to develop, it will become a model for bird conservation and ecotourism in Nepal. Whether you are a bird enthusiast, a conservationist, or simply someone who apprecia tes nature, this park is a must-visit destination. —————————————————-> Join us in supporting this initiative and be a part of the movement to protect and preserve Nepal’s rich birdlife!

Protecting Our Wildlife from Illegal Trafficking A Coordinated Effort to Save the Parrots Every year, during a significant makar (Mela) festival in Dhanushadham , the illegal wildlife trade sees a disturbing rise. Among the most affected species are parrots, which are captured from unknown locations—likely from forests and rural areas—and sold in marketplaces. This practice not only disrupts their natural habitat but also violates wildlife protection laws. This year, the Mithila Wildlife Trust, in collaboration with the Subdivision Forest Office Dhanushadham and the Armed Police Force, took swift action against this illegal activity. Upon receiving information about the sale of parrots, our team immediately reached the site and successfully rescued several birds from the traders. These birds, taken from their natural environment, were kept in poor conditions, further highlighting the cruelty of this trade. Why Illegal Bird Trade Must Stop Wildlife trafficking is a serious and ongoing issue, especially during festivals when the demand for exotic animals increases. Many birds captured from the wild do not survive due to stress, poor handling, and unsuitable living conditions. Parrots, in particular, play a crucial role in the ecosystem by aiding seed dispersal and maintaining forest biodiversity. Their removal from nature can have long-term ecological consequences. Call for Action: Strengthening Wildlife Protection We strongly urge local authorities and forestry officials to take strict action against those involved in illegal wildlife trade. While our rescue efforts make an impact, preventing these crimes through stronger enforcement, awareness, and community involvement is the key to long-term conservation. Protecting wildlife is a shared responsibility. If you witness the sale of wild birds or any other form of illegal wildlife trade, please report it to the authorities or organizations like Mithila Wildlife Trust. Your support can make a difference in preserving our region’s rich biodiversity. Let’s stand together against illegal wildlife trade and ensure that our future generations can enjoy the beauty of birds in their natural habitat—not in cages.
