Resources Himalaya Foundation (RHF) was founded under the leadership of the late Dr. Pralad Yonzon as a non‐governmental, non‐profit organization (Registered No. 1791 DAO/Lalitpur). The competitive edge of RHF over others is its knack to promote the contemporary knowledge underpinning the issues connected with nature conservation. Dr. Pralad Yonzon led this foundation since its establishment until his sudden demise on 31st October, 2011 and quite evidently in his meticulous effort the conservation of biodiversity of Himalaya region particularly Nepal, Sikkim, and Bhutan had thriven for a greater good. Reminiscing Dr. Yonzon’s contribution to the conservation sector, RHF initiates this award in his memory to honour an aspiring conservationist biennially.
