Red Panda numbers are dangerously decreasing in the wild. There could be less than 2500 red pandas left in the wild. But there’s some hope. Tucked amidst the spectacular Eastern Himalayan ridges in Nepal, there is a very special community forest that has come together to save these red pandas. A native of these forests, ‘Menuka’ is the youngest and one of the only two women working as a ‘Forest Guardian’ with the Red Panda Network. This is a story about Menuka breaking stereotypes and following her heart to save her favourite animals, the endangered red pandas.

This is a Masters degree film project by Gunjan Menon for MA in Wildlife Filmmaking, Bristol, UK. Crowdfunded on Indiegogo.
