Oli, Krishna Prasad. “Legal Instruments for Sustainable Environmental Management in Nepal.” Environment and History 2, no. 2, South Asia special issue (June, 1996): 231–48. doi:10.3197/096734096779522400. Recent and current environmental legislation in Nepal is described, and its relation to sustainable development analysed. Modern legislation often conflicts with traditional local patterns of land management. Examples of these traditional arrangements are given, and it is argued that to be successful in the long term, development programmes instigated by government and line agencies must take more account of established local practices.
