dc.description.abstractForests continue to play important livelihood roles in rural Nepal. However, forest and society relationships are at a new crossroads, driven by a political regime shift and profound changes in the socio-economic context associated with a transition in the agrarian economy. A prominent example of changing forest-society relation is the declining household dependency on major community forest products such as timber and firewood. Increasing outmigration and remittances are a component of that reduced household dependency on community forest, but there has also been a trend to an intensification of agricultural and forestry activities on private lands and a greater reliance on non-farm income. While these changes have been identified only recently, concerns had been raised as to how forest policies and silviculture regimes could be reflective and responsive to community forest users and private forest owners having multiple forest management objectives. Here we discuss the key results emerging from a recent socio-ecological analysis of the perceptions of rural respondents in Nepal, to describe how the households’ aims and activities appear to be changing in relation to the forest.
