Nepal comprises of only 0.1% of land area on a global scale, but it possesses a disproportionately rich diversity of flora and fauna at genetic, species and ecosystem levels. The Biodiversity Profiles of Nepal 1996 (BPN) was the first initiative of its kind to document all the information on Nepal's biodiversity recorded till the year 1995. The objective of NBRB was to update 1996 Biodiversity Profiles focusing on the flora and fauna diversity implicitly in the Protected Areas, Ramsar Sites and World Heritage Sites of Nepal using published information between 1996 and 2005 and field verification.
