Conduct a study visit for a team of approximately ten persons involved in conservation of Great Indian Bustard and Bengal Florican in India and Nepal, to go to Cambodia. The purpose of this visit is for the visitors from India and Nepal to learn from the experiences (positive and negative) of WCS Cambodia in Bengal Florican conservation. This study visit will lead to improvements in conservation of Great Indian Bustard, Bengal Florican and Lesser Florican in India and Nepal, at sites within and outside of the Himalayas Hotspot, and create an opportunity for two-way learning between the visitor and the hosts.
