While, a No Deforestation Joint Steering Group (NDJSG) is to be established with mandate to develop no deforestation or HCSA implementation procedure in High Forest Cover Country and Landscape within (Indicator 7.12.3); urgent guidance is required for the implementation of HCSA in fragmented landscape (Indicator 7.12.2).
