For Environment, Democracy and Livelihoods
ForestAction Nepal is excited to begin a series of multistakeholder consultations to strengthen local-level forest fire management. The first rounds of discussions in Shailung and Chautara brought together an inspiring range of actors—local governments, Division Forest Offices, security agencies, FECOFUN, community forest user groups, and local leaders who are all
committed to protecting our forests and communities.
These consultations mark an important step toward building a coordinated, inclusive, and informed approach to forest fire prevention, preparedness, and response. By bringing diverse voices to the same table, we aim to co-create practical solutions rooted in local realities and collective action.
ForestAction Nepal, in partnership with the Australian Himalayan Foundation (AHF) and Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) through the Australian Embassy, Nepal, are working in two Palikas to support the collaborative, community-centered action on forest fire prevention and response.
Together, we can strengthen resilience, protect our forests, and ensure safer communities.
