ForestAction Nepal, together with its conglomerate partners, ICCA Network Nepal and ICCA Youth Network Nepal, hosted the Fourth National Gathering, which was attended by individuals from 27 different sites representing different cultures and ethnic backgrounds at Nakkhu, Lalitpur. The gathering was a part of a larger effort to document and promote Indigenous Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs) in Nepal.
In addition to empowering indigenous people, this 2-day (March 25-26, 2023) event facilitated intercultural dialogue and collaboration, as well as share experiences, best practices, and strategies for protecting and preserving their local environments. It also served as an opportunity to showcase the work of ICCA Network Nepal and ICCA Youth Network Nepal in advocating and safeguarding the indigenous people’s rights.
