There is scant information on Indian pangolins in Bardia district of Nepal. We established baseline on the presence/absence of Indian pangolins and characterized environmental variables associated with their habitat (burrows) in selected community forests in the buffer zone of Bardia National Park. Importantly, we also built and strengthen the capacity of local communities in pangolin conservation by conducting trainings and outreach programs.
