SANMORA: SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT

ABSTRACT

Sustainable forest management is one of the main activities in integrated ecosystem management at the watershed level. It is a location-specific activity aimed at providing sustained ecological services and improving the productivity of the Ajasse Ipo watersheds (Fadama areas). Sustainable management of Sanmora forest will, therefore, serve as a test sample for further expansion of the Osin River watershed protection, which is expected to positively impact Fadama resources and by extension, the livelihoods of Fadama communities. The objective of this study/survey is to provide data for the preparation of a management plan that will serve as a guide for the sustainable management of the Sanmora Forest by the community, using a community based forest management approach. It also involves identifying capacity building and empowerment needs of the community to manage the forest.
