The center is free to use international as well as other national expertise. ENPROSC has received several requests to extend such programs in other districts of the country. Understanding the importance of conservation and science in the sector of environment conservation and sustainable development in the recent years, we have been actively involved in increasing academic links. These recent achievements include MOU with different academic institutions to reach out to the young people in the nation with the main aim of development through scientific and ethical research. Some of the major programs ENPROSC has conducted in the past few years have been described briefly below:
Decentralization of Environmental Management
The project funded by the Canadian International Development Agency through the Canadian Cooperation Office was implemented in Palpa District, Western Nepal. Training was provided to the district level and village level officials and decision makes in consultation with the ministry of Population and Environment and the Ministry of Local Development. As a result a District Environmental Conservation Committee has been formed in Palpa district at the initiation of ENPROSC. The project also prepared the outline of strategic district environmental management plan for the district through a workshop involving key stakeholders. This project has been evaluated by the Canadian (CLIFE) evaluation team and has been appreciated as a successful pioneering venture.
National Turtle Symposium
The organization has successfully conducted four National Symposium since 2020 until 2023.

Environmental Awareness Campaigns
Various awareness campaigns have been launched in many rural areas of Nepal. These programs involve the publication and dissemination of written material containing simple and easy to understand environmental information and responsibilities. Programs have been launched in collaboration with local governments and other institutions in Kathmandu for monitoring pollution in various areas within Kathmandu. Our team has been completing various innovative programs every year to spread the environmental conservation awareness where required. Participatory greening projects have been conducted in several local communities. These programs consisted of cleaning up their neighborhood and planting various species of trees. We have also been actively involved in spreading awareness for the conservation of non charismatic species for Nepalese conservation sector specially focusing amphibians and reptiles. While we have adopted citizen science approach in various programs, our members are on the continuous pursuit of outreach using popular communication as a medium. ENPROSC has also been actively organizing programs every year marking important days such as ‘Environment Day, World Frog Day, World Turtle Day’ with the core aim of communicating importance of science, conservation and need of collaboration in a wider scale.
