BIOCOS Nepal conducts wildlife research in Nepal’s challenging mountain landscapes using advanced technologies to improve data accuracy and conservation outcomes. In collaboration with national and international institutions, we access expert knowledge, cutting-edge tools, and training opportunities, enabling innovation and effective responses to both local and global biodiversity challenges.
LiDAR Technology
BIOCOS-Nepal use LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to enhance our understanding of complex mountain ecosystems. LiDAR enables us to generate highly detailed, three-dimensional maps of vegetation structure and terrain, an essential tool in the rugged, forested landscapes where we work.
Genetic Analysis
Non-invasive genetic sampling is used by BIOCOS Nepal to study elusive and endangered species, ensuring their natural behaviour is not disturbed. By collecting samples such as feces, hair, feathers, or shed skin from the field, we are able to extract valuable genetic information in the laboratory.
Remote Sensing and Automated Wildlife Monitoring
BIOCOS-Nepal uses a combination of camera traps and drones to monitor wildlife in remote, rugged, and sensitive habitats with minimal disturbance. Motion-sensitive camera traps are strategically placed in forests, alpine meadows, and buffer zones to continuously record animal presence and behaviour. Drones complement this work by surveying inaccessible areas, mapping habitats, and enhancing real-time monitoring.
AI-Based Tools in Wildlife Monitoring
With thousands of images and videos collected through camera traps and other field technologies, manually processing this data is both time-consuming and prone to error. To overcome this, BIOCOS Nepal is integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into our monitoring systems.
