The report "Replicating Success" is the result of a 3-month study shaped up together with a decade of field experience in a conservation and development project.The main aim of this report is to present a replication model for conservation and development.
My greatest debt is to the KMTNC management team for giving me a great opportunity to work in Annapurna Conservation Area with various important responsibilities and authorities. I would also like to acknowledge the support provided by the KMTNC Member Secretary and Directors during the research. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Migma Norbu Sherpa and Dr. Chandra P. Gurung, former Project Directors of KMTNC/ACAP for their untiring guidance and encouragement given to me to work in the field of community-based conservation.They are my Conservation Gurus.
The community members have provided incredible support during my journey towards community based conservation and in recent research. This would not have been possible without support of the community members and staffs from the ACAP.
I would like to offer special thanks to Mr. Ram Chandra Nepal, Senior Conservation Officer and Mr. Roshan Sherchan, Officer-in-Charge, KMTNC/ACAP Bhujung for their invaluable
assistance in the preparation of this report.
I would also like to extend gratitude and to acknowledge the financial support of "Berlin-Institute for World Population and Global Development", Berlin, Germany, to develop this research report.
Special thanks to Dr. Reiner Klingholz and Dr. Hans Fleisch who provided useful insights during the research and valuable comments on the draft report.
