Community forestry focuses on the link between forest resources and
livelihoods and contributes to forest conservation and
reforestation. It is widespread in Nepal, with a very high
proportion of the rural population involved, and is widely
recognized as one of the most successful examples of community
forestry in Asia. Through a combination of literature reviews and
original research, this volume explores key experiences and
outcomes of community forestry in Nepal over the last four decades
as a model for improving forest management and supporting local
livelihoods. The book takes a critical approach, recognizing
successes, especially in forest conservation and restoration, along
with mixed outcomes in terms of poverty reduction and benefits to
forest users. It recognizes the way that community forestry has
continued to evolve to meet new challenges, including the global
challenges of climate change, environmental degradation and
conservation, as well as national demographic and social changes
due to large-scale labour migration and the growing remittance
economy. In addition to examining the changes and responses, the
book explores ways that community forestry in Nepal might move
forward. Lessons from Nepal have relevance to community forestry
and community-based approaches to natural resource management
around the world that are also experiencing global pressures and
opportunities.
