Abstract: (Show)

The article sheds light on the notion of dependence upon forests and forest products, which has been found to be prevalent in almost all studies which analyze rural livelihood systems. The article is based on the study of Kami (blacksmiths) of two areas of the Melamchi khola region in western Sindhupalchok, in Kiul VDC and in Melamchi VDC, who utilizes forests to earn a livelihood.
