Villagers, forests and foresters
The philosophy, process and practice
of community forestry in Nepal

The authors have both had a long involvement with the Nepal-Australia forestry project which is a rare combination of sound project design based on the principle of local participation and the humility of project staff. As a result there has been a genuine learning from local people and their environment.

However, the book is more than just a description of the project, more importantly it is an attempt to develop a holistic approach to community forestry - one which will only succeed if there is harmony between humans and nature.
