Environment Professionals’ Group [EPG]: Water, Climate Change and Biodiversity Information Network <http://bit.ly/EnvTalk> was established by Mr. Tek Jung Mahat <http://realisingchange.blogspot.com/> in Nov. 2005 as a voluntary service function, to promote networking and knowledge exchange among concerned professionals at global, regional and local level. Since then, it has developed an alliance of over 660 environment professionals (individuals and institutions) from over 30 countries in Asia, Europe, Australia, Latin and North America. Group’s popularity and supporting activities eventually led to birth of ClimateHimalaya <www.climatehimalaya.org.np/>, an independent 'Himalaya regional initiative' on 5 June 2007.
