Snow Leopard Conservancy -- Who We Are (Tsedar Bhutia)

Tsedar Bhutia

A big welcome to Tsedar Bhutia, who is serving as the Snow Leopard Conservancy’s “point person” in Nepal. Tsedar will facilitate communication and coordination between our base in California, the urban center of Kathmandu and the remote sites in rural Nepal where our various snow leopard conservation projects are located.

Tsedar, who grew up in the Arun region of eastern Nepal, is a Program Coordinator with The Mountain Institute, in their high altitude wetlands conservation program. Among his many accomplishments since joining TMI in 1993 as a field-based administrative assistant, Tsedar has carried out research on medicinal plants, designed and developed guidelines for participatory community planning, and helped to establish and manage the Qomolangma Conservation Program office in Tibet. He speaks five languages, and holds a BA from North Bengal University, Darjeeling, India.

A big Thank You to The Mountain Institute, for sharing a portion of Tsedar’s time with the Snow Leopard Conservancy.
