Although forests and forest land occupy about half of Tanzanias land area, the current removal of wood much exceeds the allowable cut. This means deprivation especially of certain attractive trees species but also reducing the water regulating properties of the forest.Development of regeneration techniques for indigenous species is essential for sustaining the valuable characteristics of the Tanzania forests.A review is given of possible regeneration techniques for a selection of the most valuable timber species of Tanzania, that is Milicia (earlier Chlorophora) excelsa, Ocotea usambarensis, Pterocarpus angolensis, Olea capensis (earlier Chlorophora) excelsa, Ocotea usambarensis, Pterocarpus angolensis, Olea capensis (earlier welwitschii) Podocarpus usambarensis, Khaya nyasica, Brachylaena hutchinsii, Dalbargia melanoxylon, Juniperus excelsa (earlier procera) and Allanblackia stuhlmannii.
