About Sumana Chhetri

I hold a bachelor's degree in Forestry and a Master's degree in Natural Resource Management and Rural Development from Tribhuvan University, Nepal. My passion lies in the conservation of Nepal's threatened wildlife, with a special focus on freshwater turtles and tortoises, through the engagement of local communities. In 2023, as a fellow in WWF Nepal’s Environmental Leadership Program (ELP), I led an awareness campaign on turtle and tortoise conservation in a buffer zone community forest of Chitwan National Park, Nepal. During the fellowship, I successfully rescued an Endangered Indian Narrow-headed Softshell Turtle from the local pet trade.
