Anglo-Nepalese Wildlife and Educational Trust
The Anglo-Nepalese Wildlife andEducational Trust was formed in 2007 to help improve better civil relationships between the U.K. and Nepalese NGOs. It is a non registered charity with Andy Mydellton, the environmental journalist as Chief Executive, and Binod Neupane the ex-UNESCO Nepalese coordinater as Executive.

The non-registered charitable Trust was founded by UNESCO Schools 'Environment Concern' Adviser, Andy Mydellton and Binod Neupane, also of the UNESCO Schools Group. The main object is to enact United Nations policies in Wildlife, Conservation, Environmental and Educational matters. The Trust is affiliated to the Foundation for Endangered Species who are members of the UNESCO Schools Group.

Wildlife Gardening and Animal Feeding Station Programme
UNESCO Schools group Andy Mydellton is a member of the UK Commission group for UNESCO Schools, and adviser to them on the fourth study theme of Environmental Concern. There are a number of ongoing projects such as the Wildlife Gardening and Animal feeding Station Project (WAFS).Briefly, this is where a patch of land in a school has been set aside for plants to grow, that have been specifically chosen to attract certain animals. These plants can be monitored over time, as can be the animals that visit or live on them. Therefore caterpillars, butterflies, insects, birds and mammals can all be studied. This can be cross-curricular, classroom or extra-mural studies used at various levels. It can be appealing for all ages and for every person in our concept the ‘Every Individual Matters’. This can be modified for each school and all of its users.So far, Highfield Primary School, Hillingdon has used this to extremely effective levels. They have joined the UNESCO Schools project and will be linking with a similar school in Nepal. Moreover, this project is a new initiative and has been successfully installed into a Nepalese School for the first time ever by Binod Neupane.

ANWET AWARD

The Anwet award is for any person, group of people or organization who is creative in the area of Anwet’s object or interests. This award can be for writing, photography, painting, sculpture, acting or dance, singing or speech, broadcasting or journalism, or anything else that contributes to Anglo-Nepalese Wildlife or Educational concerns. The work could have been made at any time, ie not necessarily contemporary, as is the case of the inaugural winner, Rudyard Kipling.

WINNER 2007. RUDYARD KIPLING.

Rudyard Kipling wrote the Jungle Books, setting them in the Madya Pradesh region, just south of Nepal. However, this culture permeates the whole of the Indian sub continent, even today after the millennium years. The inaugural and posthumous award is because of Kipling’s affection for wildlife and his respect for the integrated eco-systems that he wished to save. He did not always support social values which were often based on mankind’s immediate selfishness and narrow mindedness.
Therefore Kipling’s expressed values are not only still relevant, but they are so very important and will still continue to be so for many years ahead. Rudyard Kipling remains an inspiration to ANWET and its supporters.
