Hemant R. Ojha; Netra P. Timsina; Chetan Kumar; Mani R. Banjade; Brian Belcher. 2008. Community-based Forest Management Policy and Practices: A Nepalese Experience. ForestAction Nepal.

Summary:

Over the past few decades, Community-based Forest Management (CBFM) has evolved as a key strategy of conservation as well as promoting local livelihoods, especially in the developing countries. Nepal has been designing various policies and programmes to support somewhat different but complementary strategies of CBFM over the past three decades. This book draws from these experiences to document lessons from different CBFM initiatives that have taken place over the past few decades in Nepal. The book analyzes not only the dynamics of community-level interactions but also how policy and programme processes shape, determine and influence the practices and outcomes of community-based natural resource management activities.
