267.	Positive and negative conservation and livelihood impacts of wildlife trade regulation in the East Usambara Mountains
	Monday, July 26, 2004  by Admin
	Whilst the benefits of trade in forest products to livelihoods have been well documented, far less research attention has been given to the impacts on livelihoods or national economies of conservation-motivated trade controls. The threat that unsustainable wildlife trade poses to conservation has resulted in numerous wildlife access and trade regulations implemented in producing, transit and consumer countries. More recently, concerns have been raised that these conservationbased trade controls (and resulting changes in wildlife trade) are having a negative impact on the livelihoods of those earning an income as a result of wildlife harvests, especially the rural poor. In the worst scenario, these livelihood impacts may subsequently lead to inadvertent negative impacts on the very conservation objectives of the trade controls...

270.	Transaction costs of Participatory Forest Management: empirical evidence from Tanzania.
	Monday, July 26, 2004  by Admin
	In Tanzania, Participatory Forest Management (PFM) has become the most important approach within the forestry sector following its inclusion in the National Forest Policy in 1998 and the Forest Act 2002. The move towards PFM has been driven by two factors. Firstly, recognition that neither central government nor local government have the capacity to manage the nation’s forest resources in a sustainable way without the support of communities living close to the forest. Secondly, there has been a political will to decentralize government functions to the lowest level of government. By the end of the year 2000, it was estimated that Tanzania had 319,730 ha of forests under CBFM and 28,255 ha under Joint Forest Management (JFM) mainly in catchment forest reserves. This figure is now considerably higher.
