District Level Fire Management Planning

Sharma Krishna P. Acharya P. Daniel Kraus Ananta Ram Bhandari Kiran Timalsina Supported by: Ri lSth Government of Nepal Department of Forest Foreword Forest fire is considered as a problem in forest management systems in Nepal since we have not been able to use it as a management tool. The Fire Management Plan; the first of its kind in Nepal; is an important initiation to safeguard forest and biological resources by reducing fire damages through mobilizing government, non-government, private sector, civil society and local people. The Plan is prepared with the support of the Foreign Office, Federal Republic of Germany, Office for Humanitarian Assistance and the Global Fire Monitoring Center. The preparation of the Plan is based on the substantial efforts and assistance from numerous experts, professionals, organizations, and local communities who extensively shared their ideas and expertise. I would like to express sincere thanks to all those who contributed to this effort. I am thankful to the plan preparation team of Mr. Sundar Prasad Sharma, Mr. Krishna Prasad Acharya, Mr. P. Daniel Kraus, Mr. Ananta Ram Bhandari and Mr. Kiran Timilsina for their contributions. Moreover, I am greatful to Mr. Rishi Ram Tripathi, District Forest Officer of Makawanpur and his team, community forest user groups and local communities for their inputs. I believe that successful implementation of this plan will be instrumental in shaping future forest management strategies in Nepal. -

Selection of Non-Timber Forest Species for Community and Private Plantation in the High and Low Altitude Areas of Makawanpur
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Southern Queensland ePrints Selection of non-timber forest species for community and private plantations in the high and low altitude areas of Makawanpur District, Nepal T.N. Maraseni Australian Centre for Sustainable Catchments – Condamine Alliance University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, Qld 4350, Australia Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The domestication of Non-timber Forest Species (NTFS) is receiving increasing attention from developing economies. However, little is known about the selection of NTFS in Nepal for commercial uses. Sixteen selection criteria were developed and NTFS were ranked for community and private plantations in both low altitude and high altitude areas of Makawanpur district, Nepal, by workshops of multiple NTFS stakeholders. The rigorous scoring of 12 ecologically screened NTFS against the 16 selection criteria revealed that kurilo and sarpagandh are highly preferred NTFS for low altitude areas whereas chiraito and jatamanshi are highly preferred for high altitude. This finding coincides with the general perception of participants and the contemporary literature. These are the species being rapidly depleted from the natural forests. Rapid declination of valuable species creates strong motivation from stakeholders for planting them on community and private land. Keywords: non-timber forest species, selection criteria, kurilo, chiraito INTRODUCTION Nepal, located in the Indo-Himalayan ranges, has diverse topography, with elevation ranging from 56m to 8,848m within a horizontal distance of only 150km. The climate varies accordingly, from subtropical monsoon in the low altitude areas to arctic tundra in the high Himalayas. -
