Forest governance encompasses topics related to how forests resources are managed ranging from how decisions about forest use are made and who is involved in the decision-making process, to the enforcement of laws and policy on the ground. The objective of this paper is to analyse and share a critique of forest sector governance in Nepal, particularly with forest law enforcement. This paper will also explore types of illegal practices and examine the degree to which forest law enforcement is contributing to or hindering effective forest governance in Nepal. The constraint and challenges of forest governance and strategy for improving forest governance is also presented.
