During this program students will be immersed in Nepal’s Himalayan ecosystems and cultures. As a world leader in nature conservation efforts, Nepal has developed innovative management strategies that integrate social, cultural, and environmental approaches to balancing the needs of wildlife and humans. Beyond its magnificent biodiversity, this country hosts tremendous cultural diversity and is a crossroads for many spiritual traditions. Students will investigate how biodiversity and Buddhist cultures come together through an immersive experience in the Gaurishankar Conservation Area of the Himalayas. Throughout the course, students will learn about and integrate knowledge across Western scientific frameworks of biodiversity and Buddhist perceptions of nature. Students will engage with and learn from conservation scientists, Indigenous community members, academic scholars and Buddhist monastics and thinkers in Nepal.
