Community forestry has no doubt come a long way towards becoming part of mainstream forestry in some countries. However, its potential to make a difference in the management of the forestry sector and rural development is yet to be widely recognized.

This overview was prepared for the workshop, Capitalisation and Sharing of Experiences on the Interaction Between Forest Policies and Land Use Patterns in Asia, in Godavari, Nepal, 24-28 January 2005. It explains the concept of community forestry, and discusses:
- Status of Community Forestry in the Asia-Pacific Region
