Rooted in Forest,GrowingThrivingUniting in Equality
A network uniting forestry professionals across Nepal, advocating for an inclusive, gender-friendly sector where every voice shapes our forests’ future.
Uniting Forestry Professionals Across Nepal and Globe
FFN Nepal is a predominantly female and equality male network of forestry professionals working together to make Nepal’s forestry sector more inclusive, diverse, and gender-responsive.
The Story Behind Of Our Movement
The Female Forester Network of Nepal was formed to address the long-standing gender gaps in forestry education, practice, research, and leadership. Although women play a vital role in forest conservation and community forestry in Nepal, their representation in decision-making, technical roles, and global platforms remains limited.
FFNN serves as a national platform for networking, knowledge sharing, capacity building, and global exposure for foresters, environmental professionals, researchers, students, and practitioners, regardless of gender, who believe in equality and sustainability.
We are informal in structure, inclusive in spirit, and national in impact.

Why FFNN Matters
- Nepal’s forestry sector is globally recognized—but gender gaps persist
- Women remain underrepresented in leadership and technical roles
- Access to global knowledge and opportunities is unequal
- Informal networks often create the strongest mentorship and collaboration
FFNN responds to these challenges by creating a trusted national platform driven by shared values, evidence, and action.
