In Nepal, most of the forests were nationalized in 1957, and they were supposed to be maintained and managed by the government. However, as various problems rose due to nationalization, to solve it, the community using forest (Community Forest User Group: CFUG, from now on CFUG) became the decision maker and started managing the forests themselves.
