you are a wildlife detective, landing by helicopter in a remote Himalayan Forest. You know there are lots of interesting and rare animals and plants living in this biodiversity "hotspot." What if it was your job to survey the area, photograph the animals and learn as much as you could about them in a few weeks? Where would you begin?

Sixteen wildlife scientists faced that challenge on a recent expedition to the Everest Region of Nepal. Here, you can follow in their footsteps and survey the fascinating culture, habitats, animals and tales they encountered.

You can also meet the Expedition Team, read a photo journal that documents every day of the expedition, and capture rare animals on film in a virtual forest!
