The two-day training programme was conducted by Mr Purushotam Pandey, a veterinarian from the Directorate of Livestock and Fisheries Development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this training, participants learn how to safely rescue wild animals in dangerous situations, such as moving wild water buffalo and controlling wild tigers. As well as being experts on red pandas, forest guardians are equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to protect the entire ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also learnt how to handle tools such as tranquilliser darts. And of course their knowledge of laws and legislation has been updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This training course is part of the \"&nbsp;<a href=\"#sustainable\">sustainable livelihoods programme<\/a>&nbsp;\" The RPN's \"environmental education\" programme enables local communities to acquire the environmental skills and knowledge they need to live in harmony with their natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These training courses are made possible thanks to the donations and support provided by all the partners of the Red Panda Network. None of this would be possible without the work of all the institutions involved in conservation, whether animal parks, sponsors or private individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working together across borders shows that anything is possible!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Au N\u00e9pal, les pandas roux sont en s\u00e9curit\u00e9 dans les zones foresti\u00e8res prot\u00e9g\u00e9es o\u00f9 ils ont des arbres \u00e0 grimper et des sentiers familiers \u00e0 parcourir.
