Welcome to Expedition Nepal 2010

We are a group of students at the University of Aberdeen who embarked on an expedition to study the endangered and mysterious Himalayan Field Mouse,  Apodemus gurkha, a type of forest mouse found only in Nepal.

Currently very little is known about this rodent and our aim was to find out more - mainly to study the impact of humans on the abundance of the mouse.  We are currently working on the raw data that we collected in June/July.

We were accommpanied in the field by members of the National Institute of Natural Sciences - our expedition partner organisation.
