From the Foreword: The Government of Nepal implemented the Forest Resource Assessment Nepal (FRA Nepal) project from 2010 to 2014 in cooperation with the Government of Finland. The project aimed to generate forest resource information for supporting policy-making, strategic planning, and international reporting.  

All five physiographic regions of the country were covered in this assessment. This report presents the results of the forest resource assessment of the Middle Mountains physiographic region of Nepal. It provides a wide range of information including forest cover, growing stock, and biomass, and forest carbon. Results of the study show that the forest areas of the Middle Mountains have increased since the last assessment period.
