Securing the rights of local communities and Indigenous Peoples in and around protected areas in Nepal focuses on ensuring equitable access, participation, and benefit-sharing in natural resource management. Through collaborative frameworks such as the sub-agreement with the Federation of Community Forestry Users, Nepal (FECOFUN), this initiative strengthens community stewardship of forests while safeguarding traditional rights and livelihoods. It promotes inclusive governance, recognizes Indigenous knowledge systems, and supports sustainable conservation practices that balance biodiversity protection with social justice and local development.
