Evaluating collaborative management of forest from Rangapur CFM, Rautahat

چکیده
C Forest Management (CFM) is the youngest forestry program implemented so far, in Nepal. CFM modality in Nepal has been designed focusing on sustainable management of Terai forest. Several policies and strategies formulated and implemented in the past to manage Terai forest resulted unsuccessful. Operation Forest Management Plan (OFMP) and Community Forestry (CF) are the latest example of such efforts. The OFMPs were technically sound plans, but the plans did not address the interests and aspirations of the local people. These plans were formulated with little consultation and were consequently opposed by the local people (Sharma et al., 2004). CF, a very successful model in the hills of Nepal has brought social conflicts in some cases in the Terai. Various authors (Poudel, 2002; Dahal, 2003; NEFUG, 2005; Maharjan, 1998; RDF/ N, 2004) have indicated that CF in the Terai is far more complicated than in the hills.
