“Form 990 is prepared by an outside tax professional. The form is then reviewed by the organization's management and at least one member of the board of directors.

A representative of management or the board authorizes the final form 990 which is then e- filed with the internal revenue service.”

“Our programs support communities in the protection of red panda habitat throughout their range through awareness campaigns, community-based research, in addition to eco-tourism and sustainable business skill development.”

“Volunteers serve on the board. They help with the annual convention, they instruct.”

“Red panda network started in 2006, when we realized that little was being done to protect red panda and its habitat. We began with the idea that, given the opportunity, local villagers would choose protection over exploitation of their natural resources. We tested this theory out throughour forest guardian monitoring program, training 14 local villagers to monitor their forests for red panda. Next we realized that we needed to turn red pandas into a financial resource and began training local villagers in eco-tourism and promoting trips to see red panda in the wild. By 2015, we had 47 forest guardians monitoring 10% of red panda habitat in nepal, and had the largest group (85) of tourists both national and foreign visiting the red panda trail.”

“Our vision is to ensure the survival of wild red pandas and preserve their habitat for future generations to study, experience, and enjoy. We are committed to protecting wild red pandas and preserving their habitat through the empowerment of local communities by adaptive community-based research, education, and sustainable development.”
