| Abstract | The author contends that the prevailing community forestry policy and legislations can be implemented to solve the problems in the management of the Terai forest in Nepal. Based on on-going experiences in the Chure and inner Terai region, he puts forward an approach that integrates community forestry with natural resource management involving various stakeholder groups. The conclusion is that before attempting any change in legislation, more experiences should be gained by sincere efforts to implement community forestry in the Terai region of Nepal. |
