Chitwan supports flagship species such as the one horned rhino, Gharial, and diverse birdlife while Lumbini’s wetlands are important for sarus crane and vulture conservation while also being a UNESCO World Heritage Site (birthplace of Shakyamuni Buddha); linking biodiversity, culture, and community-based conservation.
