The real story behind Nepal’s wildlife conservation success | 101 East Documentary

In the 1960s, Nepal's one-horned rhino population had plummeted to less than 100, with poachers threatening it with extinction.

Yet Nepal's latest rhino census reveals something remarkable - the number of rhinos has grown to 752.

The rise is attributed to one of the world's toughest anti-poaching approaches, mixed with innovative community-based conservation efforts.

And this success is not limited to the rhino – with the Himalayan nation close to tripling its tiger population in 2022.

101 East investigates one of the greatest conservation success stories in Asia and asks if it is sustainable.

Honestly out of all the mainstream media, Al Jazeera is the best at reporting on wildlife crime and conservation

[langhalimija]

The journalist has made a really contradictory statement saying Nepal as the poorest country. It’s baseless and bias. Nepal is definitely not a developed nation but is absolutely self sufficient, there are no slums and homeless citizen like shown on various medias in other known countries.

Congratulations Nepal. Most of the people are very humble and well-behaved. As you have made a good success in wildlife conservations, also do care your indigenous people . Because both of them are precious and create a symbiotic relationship.

So happy to see our country's progress in wildlife conservation. We need to stop hunting reserve and promote national conservation parks. Huge salute to our Nepal Army and experts along with media team

I'm from Chitwan. I respect the Nepalese army and locals for making conservation efforts successful. The cruelties of the Nepalese army may have been the case 20 years before but it is definitely not happening now (given we have a different political system now). Indegenous communities have been troubled because of wildlife but I love that Nepalese have realized we have a small price to pay for better future of endangered species.

A world class example of millitarism shown by Nepal. Hats off!! Nepal Army.

The statement "one of Asia's poorest countries" made me feel very emotional, causing me to feel like crying inside. We know we are economically backward than many other countries. But I don't think being poor is the only our identity.😔😔

I wish Al Jazeera employed Nepalese journalists to cover news in Nepal.
Hearing my country folks interviewed in hindi isn't a good feeling.

[raihanabari]

Nepal is full of nature’s and leading conservation countries within the world. They value their culture.

[charliechan]

So proud of Nepal! Greetings and support from the USA.

[Ranashekhar]

thanks but i might wanna remind you, Nepal is not at all the poorest country in Asia. Nepal is just economically primitive. No Nepali citizens ever had faced situations to beg or sleep in a footpath. Nepali people are blessed by the inherited wellbeing and influences. People in Nepal work hard, but the only thing is, Nepali people don't commercialize their workability. People work in the fields, they grow their own crop and they eat it and feed their families, they don't sell it in the market to earn money.

[prakashacharya]

Thank you❤ for beautifully presenting Nepal🇳🇵and covering wildlife conservation concerns to the world.

[BEESTa]

11:20 im so impressed.... well trained

[kuroiyama]

The 🐘 was a gentleman enough to close the door

[swagattamang]

one thing that makes me pride is our nepal army and wild life conservation of our country

[ishan_ghimire]

Those saying mentioning Nepal's economic condition is irrevelent should understand that this spreads caution to the entire world. If Nepal, with limited economic resources can make such progress with wildlife conservation, why can't the countries with rich economy do it? They simply don't care enough.

[parashbikramk]

The video started saying "one of Asia's poorest countries", we Nepalese strongly deny it. We are little bit poor (not poorest) in terms of money but we are the richest one in terms of mountains, culture, wildlife & many other things. We Nepalese people take our Guest as God.We are already ready to welcome our guests from foreign countries. We are richest from our heart🇳🇵❤️

[samip]

We are not Asia's Poorest country take that in mind 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵we are Happy and established country .

[awaiskhan]

Nepal is one of my favorite countries where I want to spend my vocations. Much love from Pakistan
