Khushi and Shradha discuss historical and contemporary conflicts concerning natural resource governance in Nepal. They focus on the significant shifts brought by Nepal's transition to a federal structure, the challenges of a centralized mindset, and the lack of clarity in roles among federal, provincial, and local levels. Shradha also explains key governance conflicts, environmental and human-wildlife security impacts, and her research on the Resource Curse theory.
