COMMUNITY FORESTS CHANGING LIVES- BHUTAN
Community Forest
Management (CFM) has helped rural communities to meet their timber needs and
benefitted them monetarily with the sale of forest products. Under this scheme,
about 328 CFM groups involving over 15,000 families manage over 30,000 hectares
forestland (2% of total). Community forest division receives Nu 5 million from
Forest department as its annual budget. Around 1500 people are engaged in
providing capacity building, guidelines and awareness to the rural
communities.
