More from our Team

EJN’s South Asia Content Coordinator Ramesh Bhushal got a digital boost in January. His epic, six-week reporting trip along the Karnali River, the source of this fantastic five-part series that EJN helped support last year, was the basis for this documentary Ramesh co-directed for the Nepal River Conservation Trust. Later in January he talked about environmental issues broadly in the Himalayas on this community radio program (93.3FM from Guelph, Canada). Keep an eye out for EJN at upcoming events around your region.
