CESAR

Our researcher, Dr. Prayan Pokharel, is currently on a field visit to the Panchase region with two of our research associates, Ms. Rekha Laudari and Ms. Astha Poudel. The team is studying mistletoe and insect interactions, a study that is the first of its kind in Nepal. This is their second field visit, and a third field trip is planned within the next three months.

Stay tuned for updates from the field.
