The document discusses the roles of Forest Protection Areas (FPAs) in Nepal in restoring degraded biological corridors. It provides details on four key FPAs - Barandhabhar, Khata, Basanta, and Laljhadi-Mohana - that have been important for connectivity between protected areas. Community stewardship and habitat restoration efforts in these FPAs have enhanced protection of forests and wildlife, helping to maintain viable tiger and elephant populations in the landscapes. The FPAs have also benefited local communities through conservation activities. Continued conservation efforts and expanded protection of additional corridors are recommended.
