students, teachers, parents should take initiation to preserve them. We
can either plant the trees on the barren hills or keep clean the rivers and
ponds around us. They also can renovate the temples and Chautaro or
mend the roads and rivulets, etc. Thus, the Government has run different
programs and projects to preserve such heritage and properties. A project
is ‘An individual or collabourative enterprise that is carefully planned to
achieve a particular aim’. Big projects are also considered as the projects
of national pride.

Among such program and projects, community forest program has been

successfully operating to preserve forests of Nepal. This project has made
the community people the owner of the forests. They are now conscious
enough about right use of the forest resources, tree plantation and
exploitation of forests.
