COMMUNITY FOREST FALL SHORT OF REACHING ITS TARGET TO FOUR PERCENT- BHUTAN
Bhutan’s
target of increasing its community forest area from 1.5 percent (43,363
hectares) to 4 percent has hit a snag due to manpower crunch and financial
shortage. At present, there are 17,666 community forestry management group members
from 388 community forests and 150 forest officials across the country. Some of
the dzongkhags have established more community forests than their target.
