This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eastern Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, culture, society, economy and environment are linked in the development framework of Gross National Happiness (GNH). In this literature review, we highlight the relationships between forests and Bhutan’s development framework and current priorities, identifying plausible causal pathways. Due to the mountainous nature of this country, our particular interest is in the impacts of upstream forest activity on downstream stakeholders. Our hypothetical framework identifies specific causal pathways between forests and the four pillars of GNH (environmental conservation, cultural preservation, equitable socioeconomic development and good governance), and evidence was sought in the published literature to test the hypothesis. While conceptual support for many linkages between forests and each of the pillars was found in the literature, evidential support specifically for Bhutan is limited. The strongest evidence is found for the role of forests in socioeconomic development and good governance, particularly through the community forestry program. To develop incentive programs for forest conservation and restoration, such as payment for ecosystem services and pay-for-performance donor funding, the evidence base needs to be expanded for causal pathways between upstream forest condition and downstream security, particularly for services such as water regulation. The evidence should inform public policy and forest management strategies and practices.

Download or read book Community Forestry in Nepal written by Richard Thwaites and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community forestry focuses on the link between forest resources and livelihoods and contributes to forest conservation and reforestation. It is widespread in Nepal, with a very high proportion of the rural population involved, and is widely recognized as one of the most successful examples of community forestry in Asia. Through a combination of literature reviews and original research, this volume explores key experiences and outcomes of community forestry in Nepal over the last four decades as a model for improving forest management and supporting local livelihoods. The book takes a critical approach, recognizing successes, especially in forest conservation and restoration, along with mixed outcomes in terms of poverty reduction and benefits to forest users. It recognizes the way that community forestry has continued to evolve to meet new challenges, including the global challenges of climate change, environmental degradation and conservation, as well as national demographic and social changes due to large-scale labour migration and the growing remittance economy. In addition to examining the changes and responses, the book explores ways that community forestry in Nepal might move forward. Lessons from Nepal have relevance to community forestry and community-based approaches to natural resource management around the world that are also experiencing global pressures and opportunities.

This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bhutan has had an active community forestry program since 2000. A key feature of the nationally organized program is the devolution of forest management and use to local residents who participate in a "Community Forestry Management Groups" (CFMG) for managing nearby community forests (CF) according to rules developed by the Department of Forests. These groups are responsible for developing and implementing community forest management plans that entitle them to use locally valuable forest products (fuel wood, construction timber, mushrooms, bamboo etc). Since 2005, CFMGs have been given the right to sell forest products from their CFs that are not needed locally with the goal that community forestry can contribute to rural poverty alleviation in Bhutan, in addition to sustainable forestry.

Download or read book Analyzing Governance of Community Forestry in Bhutan written by Tashi Wangchuk and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-16 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research analyzes the governance of community forestry in Bhutan with a case study in Punakha district. It investigates the "stumbling blocks" and "building blocks" in community forestry. Three components of good governance were considered as the conceptual basis of this research: 1) laws and other norms 2) institutions and 3) processes. Four associated principles were also considered: 1) accountability 2) transparency 3) participation and 4) rule of law. The results indicated that community forestry in Bhutan was characterized by the application of good governance principles. 'Laws and other norms' indicated that Bhutan has enabling conditions for community forestry. 'Institutions' provided more "building blocks." 'Processes' were considered as "stumbling blocks" due to many bureaucratic steps. From the four principles of good governance, all stakeholders were found accountable with presence of 'watchdog bodies'. Transparency was rated low due to lack of internal auditors and mechanism to lodge complaints. Community forest management group members were actively participating in decision making. All stakeholders involved in Community Forestry program followed the 'rule of law'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a comprehensive overview and cutting-edge assessment of community forestry. Containing contributions from academics, practitioners, and professionals, the Routledge Handbook of Community Forestry presents a truly global overview with case studies drawn from across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The Handbook begins with an overview of the chapters and a discussion of the concept of community forestry and the key issues. Topics as wide-ranging as Indigenous forestry, conservation and ecosystem management, relationships with industrial forestry, trade and supply systems, land tenure and land grabbing, and climate change are addressed. The Handbook also focuses on governance, looking at the range of approaches employed, including multi-level governance and rights-based approaches, and the principal actors involved from local communities and Indigenous Peoples to governments and national and international non-governmental organisations. The Handbook reveals the importance of the historical context to community forestry and the effects of power and politics. Importantly, the Handbook not only focuses on successful examples of community forestry, but also addresses failures in order to highlight the key challenges we are still facing and potential solutions. The Routledge Handbook of Community Forestry is essential reading for academics, professionals, and practitioners interested in forestry, natural resource management, conservation, and sustainable development.

Download or read book Opportunities and Constraints to Community Forests for Local Income Generation and Livelihood written by Wangchuk Dorji and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date, community forests do not provide households with significant income. In Shambayung CF, records indicate there is sufficient timber beyond local use which could be available for sale but lack of a good access road has limited sale of excess timber. The Ziptangzur CFMG is just beginning to collect and sell wild mushroom (Auricularia sp) from CF as well as from the government forest, but income remains quite small. Both Dechen Kinga Choeling CF and Lhapang CF have excess timber that could be sold in the future to generate income but it hasn't done so yet. Lastly, while community forest funds are accumulating income from government fees, only a few low interest loans have been offered to individuals. Community forests in the study sites are valuable for protecting local forest resources from outsiders and meeting local wood needs, but agriculture, especially sale of cash crops such as potatoes, remains the key source of livelihood. Rural poverty alleviation efforts need to focus on both forestry and agriculture, and be particularly careful to coordinate activities between them.
