Land degradation is the reduction in the capability of the land to produce benefits from a particular land use under a specified form of land management. Over the last half-century, Chitwan has been one of the districts that have undergone the most significant changes in land use and land cover. It has one of the highest population growth rates in the country due to rapid urbanization and immigration. The eradication of malaria in the 1960s, highway construction, and the re-settlement policy of the government were the catalysts for change. By the end of the 1960s, 70% of the primary forest and grasslands had been converted into settlements. Chitwan continues to be at the center of conservation and development as global efforts to safeguard the remaining tiger, rhino, elephant, and bear populations must dovetail with a national road and infrastructure development vision. It raises the urgency of biodiversity conservation and land degradation neutrality (LDN) to be customized for the region. This chapter presents how customizing specific sustainable interventions can contribute to the United Nations Conventions to Combat Desertification’s goal of LDN to address and reverse this degradation trend. By taking examples of natural resource management through community forest groups, improved grassland management, and wetland restoration, the chapter will show how community-led sustainable interventions have contributed to the restoration of degraded lands, avoiding new degradation while conserving the biodiversity and flow of ecosystem services.
