Impacts of community forestry on livelihoods in the middle hills of Nepal.

Abstract

This paper attempts to assess the livelihood impacts of community forestry based on Forest User Groups (FUGs) in the Middle hills of Nepal, using data from the Koshi hills region in the East. The general finding is that impacts are diverse both within and between FUGs, but have been generally positive, in terms of a variety of different criteria.
