Conservation Hero: Pateshwori Chaudhary

Back then, Pateshwori Chaudhary also used to catch fishes in the Rapti river using dynamites and poisons. The majority of the fishermen in his community and along the Rapti caught fish the same way. The damage to the river and the ecosystem it supported was extensive. Fast forward to today, Pateshwori is now a changed man. It all started when he joined a community interaction program organized by USAID's Paani Activity. There he learned about the harms of destructive fishing. Pateshwori decided to take action and soon enough and became a voice for the Rapti. Working in partnership with Paani and local rural municipality in Middle Rapti Watershed, his conservation group—the Baikha fishing group—has made tangible progress in biodiversity conservation in his community.
