The study estimated the benefits and costs of reducing deforestation and forest degradation for four different management regimes (community forests, collaboratively managed forest, protected forests, and protected areas) across three physiographic regions of Nepal (mid-hills, the Siwaliks and the Terai).1 The findings of the study could help in identifying areas where REDD+ implementation might be feasible and improving management practices. The study will broaden the understanding of the value of forests in different landscapes and provide a basis for developing a forest/natural capital account in the future.
