Rhododendron Phenology — Annapurna Conservation Area

Kaski District, Nepal Published: March 26, 2026

Worked on March 15, 2024

Objective: Document flowering phenology of 8 rhododendron species and compare against 3-year baseline.

Methodology: Tagged 5 individuals per species per elevation band. Weekly visits for 10 weeks.

Findings: R. arboreum at 1,800m flowered 16 days earlier than 3-year average (p=0.03).

Learnings: Multi-year commitment is essential — single-season data cannot isolate climate signal.

Avian mortality along power lines in Pokhara valley, Nepal.

The primary objective of this research was to quantify bird mortality associated with power line infrastructure in the Pokhara Valley, Nepal, where such impacts have been poorly documented. The study aimed to identify species most affected by electrocution and collision, assess how mortality varies with environmental and infrastructural factors, and provide evidence‑based recommendations for mitigating avian fatalities to support conservation planning
