Renny Jackson, co-coordinator of rescue team of Grand Teton National Park of the USA, made a special presentation on the use of helicopter to conduct rescue operations in mountains.

He also shared different incidents where the rescue team had rescued mountaineers from different mountainous areas within the Grand Teton National Park. On the occasion, Buddha Basnet, medical director of HRA, shared his experiences of carrying out rescue operations in Nepal Himalayas.
