The MRTFN (Mountaineering Rescue Training Foundation Nepal) believes that every person has a social and moral obligation to protect the environment. In an effort to do our part, we have partnered with the Ken Noguchi Foundation, Peak Aid Japan to initiate a reforestation project in the Sama Gaun area of Mt. Manaslu.
Mt. Manaslu is a popular climbing destination, and the reforestation project is an important way to preserve and protect this natural treasure. The project was inspired by Ken Noguchi, the founder and chairman of Peak Aid Japan, who is an environmental activist and mountaineer. While trekking to Everest Base Camp, Ken was impressed by the "One Day, One Tree" nursery project in the Sagarmatha National Park, which was supported by the Sir Edmund Hillary Foundation.
In 2016, the MRTFN and Ken Noguchi Foundation launched their reforestation initiative, recruiting Mr. Ang Tharke Sherpa, an expert in the nursery industry with over 30 years of experience, to lead the effort. To date, the project has generated over 50,000 seedlings, with 30,000 of these seedlings being planted at the plantation site.
As a non-profit organization, the MRTFN is committed to supporting environmental protection efforts like this reforestation project. We believe that by working together, we can make a positive impact on the natural world and preserve the beauty of the mountain region for future generations to enjoy.

Today I am here because of PEAK Aid. It not only benefited me but also benefited my parents. It made a difference in our lives.
