在尼泊尔这样的发展中国家，持续和有效的生物多样性保护面临着人口增长对国家自然资源造成的越来越大的压力。尼泊尔采取了以社区为基础的养护管理办法，包括与生活在保护区周围缓冲区的当地人民分享保护区的收入。目的是缓解冲突。本文讨论了尼泊尔缓冲区保护政策的演变。分析了缓冲区政策的优点和缺点，并审查和讨论了将政策付诸实践的努力。对缓冲区举措的分析表明，方案的愿景与其政策和做法之间存在不一致之处。为了更好地将养护和发展目标结合起来，在缓冲区政策和方案的执行中需要充分纳入在利益分享和性别问题方面的赋权和公平。
Sustained and effective biodiversity conservation in a developing country such as Nepal is faced with the increasing pressure that the growing population exerts on the country's natural resources. Nepal has adopted a community-based approach to conservation management, including sharing of revenues from protected areas with local people living in the buffer zones around protected areas. The aim is to mitigate conflicts. This paper discusses the evolution of conservation policy for buffer zones in Nepal. The strengths and weaknesses of buffer zone policy are analysed, and the efforts to put policy into practice are examined and discussed. The analysis of buffer zone initiatives reveals that there are inconsistencies between the vision of the programme and its policies and practices. For better integration of conservation and development objectives, empowerment and equity in benefit sharing and gender issues need to be adequately incorporated in buffer zone policy and programme implementation.
