Do you know anyone looking for a PhD in conservation social sciences? Share these awesome opportunities with the Welsh Graduate School for Social Sciences @BangorUni! Potential applicants should contact supervisors to develop a proposal (submission deadline 11th Dec).
I wasn't interested in creating a new one at the time. I'm frustrated with how someone could take control of my account, access all my information, and misrepresent me to my network. If you're interested its new one, instagram.com/rajuacharya569/
Spot-bellied Eagle-owl is a large sized forest owl, 1st described to science from Nepal, hence its scientific name Bubo nipalensis. Owls are threatened due to illegal wildlife trade, habitat loss due to development activities and ecological degradation driven by humans (PC: FPS).

Thank you to @ligaze for this coverage of Raju Acharya's efforts to raise the profile of owls in Nepal, published in @ForbesScience "In May, UK charity #WhitleyFundforNature awarded a Whitley Award to Acharya... with the aim of restoring 1,200 hectares of owl habitat.."
Why Were Adorable Owls Hunted And Traded In Nepal? A conservation biologist has collated a collection of owl stories from his native Nepal, to raise their profile there, as well as continuing to run an annual owl festival. My @ForbesScience story: forbes.com/sites/andrewwi…
An injured Barn Owl has been rescued- my colleagues trying to find out the cause of injury. Road accident most likely but also there is a possibility that the bird got entangled in wires. The owl was brought to us at Lumbini and being looked after.
What a pleasure to be featured in FORBES! Thank you, Andrew J. Wight (@ligaze), for the coverage. forbes.com/sites/andrewwi… @WhitleyAwards

Short-eared Owl, of nearly 2 dozen owl species in Nepal, this is the only regular winter visitor. It is seen hunting its prey over grasslands and healthy farmlands. Found in all continents except Australia. In some countries including Nepal population has declined (PC: FP Sherpa)
Brown Wood Owl is found along the Himalayas in the midhills and foothills. The Himalayan subspecies is known as 'newarensis', a Nepali name. Gokarna Safari Park used to be the ultimate site for this species in Kathmandu Valley. A great bird to see in the field (PC: F. P. Sherpa)

#Owlsome! Do you know? 1. A group of owls is called #parliament 2. There is a festival dedicated to owls & celebrated in USA, Italy, Nepal & India. 3. @FONnepal2005’s @raju_acharya_13 is regarded as #OwlSir and awarded a @WhitleyAwards for owl conservation ! #Owls
Owls are very cuddly and tend to have large extended family! Spotted Owlets sit tightly together on a branch outside their nest cavity. From lowlands to midhills, where humans live and leave a space for them, they will be there! PC French Pemba Sherpa
It was a pleasure to have a picture with Mr. Edward Whitley, OBE. Through his family’s charity, he initiated the Whitley Awards in 1994 to help young conservationists launch their careers and develop enduring conservation projects. @WhitleyAwards
This video of turtles for sale was shared from Saptari District, west of Koshi Barrage (PC: AT). As per Nepal's National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 1973, it is illegal. This must stop @DNPWC_Nepal @BishalN58025383 @herpsNEPAL @NTNCNepal
Whitley Award winner Raju Acharya spoke to BBC World Service's Shaun Ley on Newshour about the contradicting local perceptions of owls in Nepal and why he's fighting to save the birds. Thank you Shaun and Navin Khadka, BBC global environment correspondent. Hear a short clip here:
