The Trees and Bees project, implemented by RECOFTC-Nepal, aims to enhance the livelihoods of rural communities through sustainable forest management and beekeeping practices. This initiative seeks to improve the economic well-being of local families while ensuring environmental conservation. Integrating beekeeping with forest management fosters a harmonious relationship between people and nature, contributing to biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health.

The project supports community-led forest management practices that maintain forest health and biodiversity. Local communities receive training in sustainable forest management techniques and are encouraged to use forest products in a way that ensures long-term forest sustainability. Additionally, the project enhances beekeeping skills among local communities, providing training and equipment to improve honey production and quality. This not only increases income opportunities but also aids in pollination, which is crucial for maintaining forest ecosystem services.
