Schools affected

Classes at the schools in northern villages have been affected before the summer vacation with students leaving their villages to pick the herbs. The District Education Office had scheduled summer vacation from June 20, but the classes at schools of the northern villages have been affected for the past three weeks. 

Students were found playing in the ground when this scribe reached Sharada Secondary School in Bulung VDC Tuesday morning. “We have been playing after teachers said that classes will not be conducted as majority of the students have gone to pick yarsagumba,” a 10th grader said.

Fear of robbery

A group robbed Rs 150,000 from a young trader at Soti of Sunkhani Village Development Committee (VDC) last week. The youth of Lamabagar was heading to Kathmandu with the herbs. 

The trader, who had not got a receipt from GCA, did not report the robbery to the administration. 
The traders are worried as some local youths have taken to robbing the traders. “Those who come to get the release receipts worry about the threat involved in carrying the herbs,” Shah revealed. “We even deploy police for the security of those who have a large quantity of the herbs,” he added.

Metamorphosis of yarshagumba trade

The FUGs are now responsible for collecting entry charges from harvesters (NRs. 100 per collector) and a further conservation charge (NRs. 5,000 per kg) is levied. In the first year alone, the groups collected over NR800,000 (US$12,500). Following initial difficulties in collecting the charges, the FUGs set up four teams of younger group members to guard the entry points to the harvesting areas and enforce the fees. The fee income has been used to develop a micro-hydropower plant, benefiting all three FUGs.
There are still a number of challenges which need to be addressed. However, the intervention of ANSAB and commitment of FUGs has proved a viable and profitable alternative to the shortcomings of government regulation of yarshagumba collection in Nepal. ANSAB is now calling for more FUGs to become involved in forest management schemes to protect the communities they represent and the forests they depend on.

Community takes control

For Nepali communities in Dolpa, the yarshagumba trade has always been a vital source of income. Local authorities say schools and offices frequently close down during the picking season as children help their parents collect the fungus. But the increasing trade and influx of outsiders is putting local villagers' livelihoods and their forests at risk. In 2006, it was reported that over 30,000 harvesters had gathered in Dolpa's forests.
To protect their livelihoods and the delicate mountain habitat, local communities in Dolpa have sought to find their own solution to regulating the yarshagumba trade. Community forest user groups (FUGs) are found throughout Nepal, but many in Dolpa had ceased to function while others made no provision for NTFPs in their management plans. With support from the Asia Network for Sustainable Agriculture and Bioresources (ANSAB), a Kathmandu-based NGO, which had lobbied the government over the excessive yarshagumba royalty fee, three FUGs are now meeting regularly, having revised their constitutions and management. The harvesting areas have been surveyed and district authorities have officially handed over management of these to the groups.
