A national forest policy has been prepared by the government in order to enhance productivity of forests so that requirements of firewood, timber, fodder and non-wood products could be met.
The policy is also aimed to promote livelihoods based on sustainable natural resources. It envisages lifting the ban on cutting trees, which was imposed in 1993. But, it recommends, timber cutting should be restarted only in well-stocked forests.
Under the new policy, the four provincial governments will need to make arrangements for training local people in operations relating to timber cutting.
