Around 110 million cubic feet timbers can be extracted from forests while annual supply of 50-60 million cubic feet timbers is adequate to address the country need, he said. \u201cImport of timbers worth amounting to Rs 18 billion from foreign countries is disheartening in this context\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Likewise, Vice-Chairperson of Nepal Foresters\u2019 Association Shree Prasad Baral asserted that the government scrapped the scientific forest management system without any preparation noting it was wrong to revoke the scientific forest management work procedure by not placing alternative measures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Secretary of Federation of Community Forestry Users Nepal (FECOFUN), Thakur Bhandari said the users are aspiring for timber management in a simple and easy manner and highlighted the need of people\u2019s participation in forest management. He further said that the Federation was positive to the right to easily provide timbers to the users by devising plan for sustainable forest management.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ecology expert Baburam Yadav argued that the scientific forest management was a measure to cheat the people and deceive the leaders. Forest expert Dr Binod Bhatta said that the stakeholders should lay emphasis on the plantation of saplings for the sustainable management of forest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">NEFEJ Chairperson Kosmos Biswokarma stressed the need of collaboration among the stakeholders for the sustainable management of forest and also shared that the organization has been consistently conducting such discourse to that end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KATHMANDU &#8211; Forestry experts have underlined the need of a new plan for forest management following the government scrapped the Scientific Forest Management Work Procedure.
