Both Gopal and I fly out of Pokhara today, back to
Kathmandu to attend a meeting.
Shambu has arranged for various management
agency officials to come and hear about new work he will be starting soon looking at abundance of the river dolphin in Nepal. Shambu has received money to survey all four major river
systems in this country where the river dolphin had been previously. Some recent
potential sightings and confirmed strandings give hope that there may still be some left in those areas.
Shambu will now get to survey and see. At this meeting Shambu will describe the
work he intends to do, providing an opportunity for those attending to comment and provide
feedback.

Following the meeting Shambu and I make a plan for filming and
interviewing for the next few days here in Kathmandu. Gopal and I then
head on foot around the city so I can collect more general footage of what it
is like here. What people are doing….what the area looks like…those sort of
things. To give perspective in the film.
