This paper explores the interplay between community development, remittances, and social networking in forested regions. Drawing upon case studies and empirical evidence, it examines how remittance flows from migrants working in urban areas contribute to local development initiatives, social capital formation, and resilience in forest-dependent communities. By analysing the dynamics of social networks within these communities, the paper aims to shed light on the multifaceted relationships between migration, remittances, and community well-being in forested regions.
