Abdallah, J. M.|Monela, G. G. / 2007

Miombo woodlands make up a significant proportional of total forested land in Tanzania, and most of it it is in general lands. The main concentrations of this formation are found in the western and the southern part of the country. Miombo woodlands are central to the livelihood systems of millions of rural and urban dwellers in Tanzania for domestic and some agro-industry activities. Utilization of miombo woodlands is unsustainable and inefficient. Deforestation is alarming, marketing and improvement of processing techniques of miombo products is crucial. To develop alternative energy sources and to make them accessible to the poor community is paramount. To invest on addressing constraints emanating when implementing collaborative management is crucial.
