Nepal's Naya Padampur district features women-led microenterprises that spin wool on rooftops, generating income and reducing reliance on forest products. A 2022 Parbat district study found 96% of women entrepreneurs felt confident supporting their families, with 2026 data showing enterprises have blossomed since the early 2000s. These businesses support conservation by providing alternative income, though specific conservation outcomes remain unmeasured.
