The Workshop on Participatory Forest Management: Implications for Policy and Human Resources Development in the Hindu Kush-Himalayas brought together forest management personnel from various parts of the Hindu Kush-Himalayas. The basis of their discussions was the people-centred forest policies that have emerged in many countries of the region and their objectives of supporting and strengthening participatory forest management to ensure that the needs of mountain people receive the priority they deserve. The policies along with their constraints and opportunities were discussed in depth, guided by papers provided by the participants themselves. Volume 1 is the Workshop Document, Volume 2 deals with China, Volume 3 - Eastern Himalayas, Volume 4 - India, Volume 5 - Nepal, and Volume 6 - Pakistan.
