Deforestation-some of the causes-and the probable solutions

The initiative falls within the
framework of the national
strategy for reduction of deforestation
,emissions and forest
degradation called REDD

The need for reduction of
deforestation whose
causes are identified as as
shifting cultivation,legal as well as illegal lumbering, cutting of
firewood and charcoal
production,is a major concern. Paula Panguene, national coordinator of the
program, explained that the
northern and central regions
are those with the highest
rates in the country.
Now the implementation of two pilot projects, one in the
Quirimbas National Park and
another in Gilé park are aimed at reversing the scenario.
