About this organization
Mission
KTK-BELT's mission is to catalyze new models of biodiversity conservation and environmental learning in eastern Nepal. It works with teachers, farmers, youth, and women to create a vertical university that will span from Koshi Tappu Wildlife Sanctuary (67 m) to Kanchenjunga (8,586 m), the third tallest peak in the world. The idea is to give a framework to local farmers to become professors of the vertical university, to share their indigenous knowledge while also physically conserving threatened species and landscapes.
About
KTK-BELT works in concert with nonprofit cooperatives registered under the Nepal Company Act called Learning Grounds. Each Learning Grounds, governed by a diverse local board and monitored by the Social Welfare Council (SWC) of the Nepal Government, works to protect nature by preventing ecosystem fragementation, deforestation, and poaching. Youth fellows, local conservationists, and educators, trained and supported by KTK-BELT staff, run and administer the Learning Grounds and build place-based capacity for biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods across an 8,000-meter verticle gradient, from the plains to the high Himalayas. This is achieved through peer-to-peer learning programs, work empowerment, and upstream-downstream linkages.
