Location of studied BZCFs and PWR forest in Bara District, Central Terai, Nepal. In these BZCFs, the forest user groups are different and also vary in a number of households using forest resources. These BZCFs are the southernmost part of a large forest landscape also known as “Charkose Jhadi”. People enter from the southern border of the BZCFs to collect/harvest forest resources.
