Miss Nepal 2013 Ishani Shrestha is welcomed as the new Young Conservation Ambassador by Conservation Program Director of WWF Nepal, Dr Ghana Gurung.
WWF Nepal is also celebrating its 20th year and Dr Gurung added, “It will be an interesting year for Ishani.”
Former Miss Nepal, Shristi worked especially for conservation and monitoring of snow leopards. She went to Kanchenjunga where she spent time with the locals learning about their problems as well as monitoring the snow leopards. “It’s been an eye opening experience for me,” she said, adding, “I’ve learnt that simple changes of habit can make a huge impact.”
The new Young Conservation Ambassador, Ishani expressed her eagerness to be at the field. “Nepal is rich in flora, fauna and natural resources. I’m looking forward to explore, experience and work towards the conservation of natural resources,” she said.
