This study investigated contribution of miombo woodland resources accrued from
Urumwa Forest Reserve (UFR) to income of rural households. Data and conclusions
are based on 84 randomly surveyed households in four villages adjacent to UFR. Using
descriptive statistics, the analysis was guided by the sustainable livelihood framework
conceptual model. Results show that the miombo woodlands of the UFR account for
42% of total household income. Further analysis reveals that woodlands contribute
28% and 59% of non-monetary and monetary income, respectively. This demonstrates
a significant role played by miombo woodlands. Woodland resources contribute to
household income through various livelihood activities. Accordingly the woodland
resources accrued from the UFR cover human basic needs. Results from this study
empirically demonstrate the vital role played by miombo woodlands in either
supporting current consumption or serving as safety net. It is, therefore, recommended
that current and future management strategies in the forest sector emphasize forest and
livelihood dimensions for sustainability of both livelihood and forest and woodland
resources. |
