    Forests are valuable resources due to a number of goods they offer to the national economy and in the improvement of human welfare. Benefits of the forest ranges from the maintenance of environmental integrity to direct utilization potentials as a source of timber, building poles, non wood products, etc. The high population growth rate in Tanzania (2.8 percent) has increased the demand for food, agricultural products as well as expansion of land areas for settlement. As a result, the rate of env ironmental degradation has been accelerated (estimated at 140 000 to 500 000 ha/year). The increased environmental destruction in the natural forest resources forced the establishment of some protected areas.

    Working paper
    State of forest genetic resources in Sahelian and North-Sudanian Africa & sub-regional action plan for their conservation and sustainable use 2001
    Also available in:
    This first edition of a synthesis document, compiling a status of forest genetic resources in the Sahelian and North-Sudanian zone of Africa and a sub-regional action plan for the sustainable management of these resources, is the fruit of a process undertaken at the initiative of countries in the sub-region, towards a better consideration of the important but complex issues linked to forest genetic resources. The synthesis and the action plan were prepared by the representatives of 15 countries assembled during a sub-regional workshop on the conservation, management, sustainable management and enhancement of forest genetic resources in Sahelian Africa, which was held from 22 to 24 September 1998 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The drafting of the documents also benefited from the active participation of 8 international, regional and bilateral institutions, the work of resource persons, as well as various national actors in Burkina Faso.
