Project Summary:
This project aims to secure local incomes and healthcare, threatened by declining biodiversity and natural resource access, linked to overharvest of medicinal species in Nepal’s high Himalayas. It scales up a market-based model for sustainable, equitable trade across high-priority plant species and districts, while driving integration of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) into Community Forestry nationally. Locally-led activities include participatory inventories of NTFPs; training >5,000 harvesters/processors; enhancing Community Forest management and trade; and policy engagement to incentivise sustainable local biodiversity management.
