Abstract
Nepal is experiencing forest degradation and deforestation due to diverse drivers which are more geographically distributed and having impact at different levels. Those causes and their spatial distribution can be assessed using geospatial approach through GIS, Remote Sensing, and GPS technologies. This approach involves mainly spatial analysis of the resources and their causal factors. Nepal has also implemented several successful forest conservation programs such as Community Forest Development Program, perceived as the most successful program at government initiation. The forest degradation and restoration both can be assessed using GIS technologies. Nepal has already experienced adoption of such technologies to develop the dataset and monitor the forest resource in terms of land use land cover and, forest cover change over the period as a part of National Forest Inventory.
