In Nepal there are many community forest . We know nepal is richest country in forest , there area various type of forests in nepal Community forestry in Nepal evolved through an interaction of
multiplicity of factors. This stems from a sense of collective spirit
embodied in Nepalese society through generations. There were frequent
cases, particularly in the hills, of communities having been involved in
the conservation of forests and regulating of forest resources. Earlier
experiences with different political turmoil, population growth,
regulatory enforcement and adjustments, excessive dependence of the
people over forest resources, and a paradigmatic shift in global
development thinking are some of the other factors that contributed to
evolve it to the present scenario of decentralization and devolution.
Earlier statutes have been specifically harmful to the development
and conservation of the Nepalese forests. Their main shortcomings stem
from their indifference to, or failure to address, the needs and
aspirations of the people who continued to depend on forest products for
their very subsistence. The Private Forests Nationalization Act 1957
brought forests, which were earlier perceived to be private, under state
jurisdiction. Forest Act 1961 and Forest Protection Special Arrangement
Act 1967 failed to democratize the regulation of forests. Coupled with
population growth and government's continued inability towards effective
protection, and misappropriations all led to consistent decline in the
forest cover. As such, community forestry could have been adopted also
as an ad hoc approach to timely halt the deforestation process.
The National Forestry Plan 1976 listed the major constraints and
proposed policies to tackle them. It recognized the critical forestry
situation of the time and laid down as objectives for forest management
the restoration of the balance of nature, economic mobilization,
practices of scientific management, development of technology and
promotion of public cooperation. However, the Plan was partly
implemented. The community forestry thrust followed the formulation of
Panchayat forest Rules and Panchayat Protected Forest Rules 1978.
The community forestry project was introduced in 29 hill districts
with assistance from the World Bank.
The community forest helps the environment sucha a clear and clean . In world oxygen is play vital role for life. so community forest increase oxygen day by day....
