English actor of X-Men fame Nicholas Hoult recently visited Nepal for WWF.

Hoult along with WWF and his friends Carlos Adams and Nick Atkins will embark on a 3,000km rickshaw run adventure to raise funds for rhino conservation.  The money raised will help fund an ongoing translocation program that aims to create a second viable rhino population in Nepal.

The trio have set off on this journey for both WWF and the Teenage Cancer Trust.

As part of their work with WWF, Nicholas and Carlos visited Chitwan National Park, participated in a rhino monitoring activity and also met park staff to discuss protection efforts within protected areas and buffer zones, as well as the use of new technologies in patrolling.

The trio will set-off from Cochin on 2 January 2017 and aim to arrive in Jaisalmer via Goa on 15 January.
