Our Mission

Red Panda Network is committed to the conservation of wild red pandas and their habitat through the education and empowerment of local communities.

Our Vision

We envision secure, viable populations of wild red panda thriving throughout their historic range. Preservation of this species and its habitat benefits the region and, as a result, it is valued and protected by all.

What We Do

We protect red pandas and their habitat using a holistic approach — we believe pandas, people, and the planet are deeply interconnected. Though we center our work around the red panda, we cannot save them without saving their habitat and promoting sustainable livelihoods for the people who live alongside them.

Where We Work

Our work started in 2007 in the Panchthar, Ilam Taplejung (PIT) districts of eastern Nepal. 

Since then, we have extended our community-based red panda conservation programs from the PIT Corridor to ten more districts across Nepal — Dolpa, Jajarkot, Jumla, Kalikot, Rolpa, Rukum East, Rukum West, Solukhumbu, Bhojpur, and Khotang.

We are also expanding our work across borders, working in Bhutan to build cross-country red panda conservation efforts.
