The small and strategically important mountainous country of Nepal sits at the crown jewel of the Himalayas. It houses a diverse territory ranging from altitudes of 60 meters to 8,848 meters above mean sea level within its border of under 150,000 square kilometres.
According to the National Biodiversity Strategy of 2002 Nepal encompasses 118 different types of ecosystems. Home to big cats and one-horned rhinoceros, it is also home to nearly 12,000 different species of flora, and as such Nepal is positioned as one of the most unique nations in the world sandwiched between China and India with an abundance of natural resources.
