Paper Summary

Forest management in Nepal is important for sustainability, but stakeholders have different views on the "Scientific Forest Management" program. The government believes it saves $91 million annually. Stakeholders disagree on how to implement SciFM, with community forest users wary of centralization. Building trust and simplifying procedures can help achieve SciFM goals.
