role to play. You will also be responsible for giving presentations to
small groups of mainly American and British tourists several times a week. These
presentations form part of our contribution to the the vital
conservation work we do. They normally last for no longer than 1 hour,
they are informal and fun and a good opportunity to raise awareness and
funds for Himalayan Raptor Rescue and vulture conservation. You will need to be on hand throughout the day to speak to guests, answer their questions, take bookings and generally be informative. You will also make regular fundraising visits accompanying small groups of tourists to the Vulture restaurant conservation project that Parahawking supports. You'll be required to write reports and collect data on vulture numbers.
We offer:
A once in a life-time opportunity to be doing something truly unique in
an exotic location. A chance to work with an experienced bird trainer,

other birds of prey. You will come in contact with several of Nepal’s
many birds of prey through Himalayan Raptor Rescue, we are also closely
involved with Vulture Conservation in Nepal and
assist in the funding of selected vulture conservation projects.
