Community forestry for rural development in Nepal : a manual for training field workers : Part 3 : support material
    Bond, Denise | Ingles, A. W. | Jackson, W. J. | Malla, Yam B. | Singh, Hukum B.

Community forestry aims to recognise the dependence of rural communities on forests by giving local people who use the forests the responsibility to manage them. By doing this a sustainable supply of forest products for rural communities can be achieved. However, community forestry is not simple to implement. Field workers must be able to fulfill the roles of facilitator and adviser and must undergo a fundamental shift in attitude and a learn a completely new set of skills. This manual and training program seeks to address the first part of the challenge, training field workers. In using a workshop approach which encourages participants to learn through discussion, reflection and group field exercsises, the hope is that other initiatives will flow from the field workers' changed behaviour and attitude. The purpose of this manual is to provide a structured learning program through which forestry field workers can come to appreciate the new imperatives of community forestry and help to make it a reality.

Wildlife media watch : April 1995 to August 1996
    Shrestha, Nabina | Shrestha, Rabin

This book is a compilation of news reports and feature articles published in various dailies and weeklies between April 1995 and August 1996 on the present status of the country's endangered wildlife, rare wild species, their habitat destruction, human and ecological pressure on their food and habitat, their illegal trade and conservation efforts carried out by various international and national agencies. This book reflects the effforts of the Wildlife Watch Group (WWG) of the Nepal Forum of Environmental Journalists (NEFEJ) to educate and activate wildlife conservation authorities and people on wildlife protection issues.

Agrobiodiversity and farmers' rights : proceedings of a technical consultation on a implementation framework for farmers' rights
   

The term agrobiodiversity refers to genetic variability in plants, animals and micro-organisms of economic value. In the past, several thousand plants were used for purposes of food, feed, fibre, fuelwood, fertilizer and medicine. As agriculture advanced, the human food secruity systems began to depend not only on fewer and fewer plant species, but also on a small number of varieties. Such genetic vulnerability to pests and diseases as well as to soil and climatic stresses. At the same time, the habitats rich in biodiversity like forests were getting destroyed. The on-farm conservation traditions of rural communities are also giving way to monoculture, thereby accelerating the pace of gene erosion. Agrobiodiversity provides the fooed-stock for the breeding and biotechnology enterprises. The future of food and health security depends on the conservation and sustainable use of such diversity. Genetic engineering technologies help move genes across sexual barriers and hence no plant or other living organism in useless, as Charaka reminded us centuries ago.
