OverviewAI-generated summary

Sagar Godar Chhetri's research focuses on the economic and social dimensions of forest management and natural resource utilization. His work investigates factors influencing forestland enrollment in preferential property tax programs and the economic contributions of the forestry sector to national economies, with studies conducted in both Georgia, USA, and Nepal. Chhetri also examines local perceptions of ecotourism impacts and the importance of natural resources, particularly in Nepal. His research extends to understanding forest management practices and their associated costs for family forest landowners in the USA, specifically in Georgia and Arkansas. He has also explored the relationship between urban characteristics like city size and per capita income and urban forest carbon sequestration in Arkansas. Chhetri's collaborations include extensive work with Mathew Pelkki, Matthew H. Pelkki, Pradip Saud, and Kevin Boston at the University of Arkansas at Monticello.
