Great to spend time in the last few days with environmental journalist Pragati Shahi. Those of you who read the Kathmandu Post (and other Kantipur platforms) will have read Pragati's articles on tiger related issues as well as seeing other environmental and wildlife stories she has had published. Pragati also writes on humanitarian issues for foreign publications, her direct and well researched approach is building a strong following and recognition.
We're collaborating directly on developing a platform to create a broader understanding of human - wildlife conflict issues and I'm feeling positive with the progress we've made with regard to this sensitive subject. Pragati is a journalist with a passion for her country, she wants to utilize her skills in the best way possible for Nepal and it's tremendously encouraging for me personally to work alongside someone with such an in depth knowledge plus the enthusiasm to try and create positive change.
