These
herbs are mainly supplied by one of Nepal's indigenous groups
called Chepangs (some 0.04% of the population) who inhabit
the Mahabharat hills of Central Nepal. Until recently, they
were hunters-gatherers. With the depletion of the forest,
almost the only hunting they can do now is for hornets and
bats that make up part of their diet.
The
Chepangs are considered "socially disadvantaged"
largely because of the discrimination they have endured from
other neighboring ethnic groups. They have few income opportunities.
Many resort to borrowing from moneylenders at extortionate
interest rates which they often struggle to repay.
Harvesting
of these herbs is designed to be a method of preserving the
environment, allowing local people to make a living without
destroying the forest. The PCL 7 members come from different
Community Forest User Groups (FUGs) that are formed to ensure
sustainable management of forest and equitable distribution
of benefits to women and weaker sections of the community.

body and mind from quality herbs while providing a chance
for this remote community to develop their marketing and production
of the herbs and create sustainable livelihoods.
