Deepika

Acharya

I am a forestry professional with experience in agroforestry, community forestry, wildlife conservation, and sustainable forest management. I enjoy working directly with rural communities to support climate-friendly practices and strengthen natural resource governance.

I have worked as a Research Officer at the Nepal Agroforestry Foundation under the EnLiFT Project, where I contributed to participatory research, silviculture trials, and field surveys. I also helped develop practical recommendations for forest and farm producer organizations.

My previous roles include Senior Forest Technician, Socio-ecological Research Assistant, and Consultant with the International Institute for Environment and Development. Across these positions, I have supported community-based research, forest management activities, and documentation of agroforestry innovations.

I am passionate about fieldwork, learning from local people, and co-creating simple and sustainable solutions for better natural resource management.
