Summary: This book presents the findings of a Symposium and Research Workshop on Renewable Natural Resources Management for Mountain Communities held in Nepal in February and March 2003. The papers presented at the Symposium in Kathmandu (24-25 February) describe renewable natural resources research undertaken by ICIMOD's People and Resource Dynamics in Mountain Watersheds Programme (PARDYP) and the Hillsides system of the Natural Resources Systems Programme (NRSP). About 70 persons attended the symposium from a wide range of organisations in Nepal, countries in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region, and from Bolivia, Kenya and Uganda. The Research Workshop was held in the mid-hills of Nepal near Pokhara (26 February 1 March) with 37 participants. The management of renewable natural resources in hillside and mountain areas is intricately linked with livelihood opportunities and sustainable development. The goal of the PARDYP and NRSP Hillsides research is to enable improved and more sustainable livelihoods for communities and individuals. Their research emphasises the role of the management of soil, water and land resources in improving livelihood opportunities and human well-being. PARDYP and the NRSP Hillsides system have complementary research programmes and while PARDYP has a regional mandate, NRSP Hillsides works in Nepal, Bolivia and Uganda. This Symposium and Research Workshop was developed in recognition that the valuable experience gained and information held by ICIMOD and NRSP should be shared with stakeholders, nationally, regionally and internationally. The discussion during the Symposium and Research Workshop will help develop the research agenda in the management of renewable natural resources and inform the debate on sustainability, livelihoods, poverty reduction and environmental issues in hillsides and mountain areas. The sponsors of this Symposium and Research Workshop were PARDYP, on behalf of ICIMOD, and NRSP on behalf of the UK Government's Department for International Development (DFID) and the Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC). PARDYP is co financed by IDRC, Canada; SDC, Switzerland; ICIMOD; and the countries participating in the project. NRSP is funded by DFID.
