Some 404 villages, representing an estimated population of 415,000 people, are involved in community forestry initiatives. These figures appear to be comparable to those of CDRI. Two-thirds of all community forestry initiatives are located in areas with heavily degraded forest or no forest at all, while half are located in agricultural areas with a population density of over 235 people per square kilometre (km2). As there is no centralised registry, the number of ongoing community forestry projects may be much larger, but it is unlikely to be substantially more significant in area covered.
