Participatory Forest Management

Participatory Forest Management (PFM) is a collaborative approach where local communities actively engage in the management and conservation of forest resources. It recognizes that local people depend on forests for their livelihoods and aims to involve them in decision-making processes. By working together with government authorities and organizations, communities can create sustainable practices that protect forests while also benefiting economically. This approach promotes biodiversity, enhances forest health, and empowers communities, ultimately leading to environmental and social well-being.
