Rhino Conservation in Nepal School Trips

Projects Abroad

Join us on our Rhino Conservation Programme in Nepal to conduct research, protect vulnerable animals and raise awareness about protecting the environment.

Taking part in our conservation programme, your students can expect to learn a wide variety of skills and leave with abundant new knowledge. They will assist with research as they collect data on one-horned rhinos, Bengal tigers, vultures, and more while engaging with the local community and discovering different ways of life.

Students will take on tasks around the reserve to assist with its preservation. It's essential that the nature reserve is well maintained in order to keep it safe for both humans and wildlife, as well as improve the experience for those visiting.

Your group's final aim will be to raise awareness of wildlife protection. Through outreach, you will teach the community about the need for conservation efforts and encourage them to take action to ensure that your impact will last long after you return home.

By joining this programme, your students will improve their communication skills and develop their knowledge in research practice. They will also form connections with a new community and learn about Nepali life while observing incredible wildlife in their impressive habitats.

Who are Projects Abroad?

Projects Abroad arrange challenging, meaningful, educational, and safe overseas service and internship programmes.

We have been taking students overseas since 1992 and work in over 20 developing and emerging countries across Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Key to our work is the dedicated in-country staff whose diverse skill sets, local knowledge and love of their community allow us to develop relevant, immersive and worthwhile schedules for school trips which give the students responsibility and teach them to see the world through a different lens.

We offer programmes in community development, conservation, construction, education, sports, empowerment, human rights, and healthcare, among many others. These projects are designed to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, broadening the student experience to see the contribution of a few to a movement for global change.

All school trips are individualised. We realise that each school has its own goals and interests, and the students have their own passions. We work with the school to develop a tailored itinerary that reflects their values and allows the students to make a connection with the community in which they serve.
