Nepal - a mountain kingdom and home to twelve species of wild cat including the tiger, snow leopard and Eurasian Lynx but today we're talking about a small cat - the fishing cat in the Western Terai region of Nepal.
Ganesh Puri is a wildlife and forest ranger - and he saw first-hand the conflict between the fishing communities of this area and the fishing cat - whose numbers are thought to be less than two hundred here.
So Ganesh started the Western Terai Fishing Cat Project and has built connections in these communities to protect the fishing cat and improve the livelihoods of these fishing communities.
This is the story of a man with a big dream for a small cat in a small part of a small country.
