Assessing the potential and limitation of involving (forest -adjacent) communities in joint indigenous forest conservation in Kenya
1998
Sigu, G. O.
The report looks at some of the factors involved in the joint indigenous forest conservation. The factors explored by the study include present policy and legislation, land tenure, cost and benefits of conservation, institutional considerations, indigenous knowledge, farming systems, marketing of non-timber forest products, gender issues and promotion of out-of-forest activities. The potential of GIS in the zoning of forest reserves by creation of a buffer zone where subsistence use by the forest-adjacent communities can take place is assessed. An attempt is made to asses how remote sensing and GIS can contribute to joint forest conservation with the forest-adjacent communities through the integration of socio-economic and biophysical data collected using participatory rural appraisal techniques.
