“…In addition, sustainable forest management discourages timber import from pacific rim countries; helps to lower increasing timber prices; and reduces (in)direct pressure on forest resources. However, the collective forest tenure reforms dictate the success of sustainable forest management ( Aggarwal et al, 2021 ). The federal and provincial governments, particularly the Ministry of Forests and Environment and the Ministry of Industry, Tourism, Forests and Environment can take a lead by simplifying its process and procedure; improving its governance; and develop tenure arrangements.…”

Almost all countries have imposed large-scale mobility restrictions (or lockdown) to stop the spreading of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The mobility restriction has disrupted all types of business; causing a devastating impact on countries' economies; and pushing millions of people into extreme poverty. Scientists have been assessing the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on various fronts but there is limited scholarship in the forestry sector. We navigated the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on the forestry sector by taking Gandaki Province (21,974 km 2 ) of Nepal as a case. Employing semi-structured interviews ( n = 62) with all ten stakeholder groups, literature review and media analysis, our study revealed that the COVID-19 lockdown suspended all types of forestry and ecotourism businesses; obstructed research and monitoring activities; halted capacity development and extension services; impacted forest development work; and increased incidences of illegal logging and poaching and trafficking of wildlife. Because of the complete shutdown of businesses, the forestry sector of Gandaki province lost 9.6 million USD and 3.2 million man-days of employment during the lockdown period. The economic cost of the lockdown was 1.73 million USD for NTFPs traders, 1.26 million USD for ecotourism entrepreneurs, 0.55 million USD for the community forest user groups and 0.24 million USD for the smallholder or private forest owner. We suggested four post-COVID recovery pathways, including sustainable forest management, nature-based tourism, improvement of forest products value chain and community-based natural resource management to bounce back from the loss. As the current pandemic is most likely to derail the Sustainable Development Pathways of several countries, including Nepal and necessitates the need for an immediate response, the finding and recommendation of our study may inform decision-makers to reimage post-pandemic recovery and leverage sustainable development.

“…During the lockdown, many types of industries, and human activity were stopped, maybe for the first time in modern history (Laudari et al 2021). The agricultural and forestry organizations have faced the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (Aggarwal et al 2021;Chirwa et al 2021). Under the mentioned conditions, employee motivation in the agricultural and forestry organizations of the Slovak Republic must be evaluated, and the impact of the situation must be investigated.…”

The aim of the paper was to define the effect of the pandemic on employee motivation. Following the questionnaires, the level of motivation in agricultural and forestry organizations before the COVID-19 pandemic in the years 2018–2019 and after the crisis in the years 2020–2021 was defined. The hypotheses were tested using the variance analysis with interactions. The analysed field (financial, social, work, and career-related) was presented by the dependent variable. The categorical independent variables were used to describe the age, gender, and the time before or after the COVID-19 pandemic. A reduction in the level of the requirements in all areas of motivation in terms of age and gender is the result of the study. The needs and requirements of the employees of agricultural and forestry organizations are reduced. The order of importance of the groups stays almost the same. The finding that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has, besides others, effect on human resource management, especially on employee motivation, is considered the main contribution of the study. The results of the study result in enhancing the knowledge about economic development through human resource management at the time of the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…89 In some countries, the collective and private or individual ownership of forest lands is increasingly being guaranteed by legislation (FAO 2010). Collective forest tenure reforms are recognized as vehicles for moving towards SFM as well as towards other environmental and sustainable development goals, even if their potential can still be developed (Aggarwal et al 2021).…”
