O presente trabalho de investigação debruçou-se sobre o impacto das actividades de exploração no desenvolvimento local na província de Nampula, especialmente na vida das comunidades dos locais da extracção de recursos florestais. A investigação foi realizada com base no método do estudo de caso, tendo sido seleccionados quatro distritos da província de Nampula, designadamente Lalaua, Malema, Mongincual e Memba.

The training manual on improving grassroots equity in the forests and climate change context, aims to develop the knowledge and capacity needed among grassroots facilitators to implement genuinely participatory processes for improving grassroots equity in forest-based climate change policy frameworks, mechanisms and initiatives.

The native forests of Borneo have been impacted by selective logging, fire, and conversion to plantations at unprecedented scales since industrial-scale extractive industries began in the early 1970s. There is no island-wide documentation of forest clearance or logging since the 1970s. This creates an information gap for conservation planning, especially with regard to selectively logged forests that maintain high conservation potential. Analysing LANDSAT images, we estimate that 75.7% (558,060 km2) of Borneo’s area (737,188 km2) was forested around 1973.

The effects of the surrounding stand type and forest site productivity on the composition and size of understory trees were examined in middle-aged Cryptomeria japonica plantations. A negative correlation was found between the stem density of hardwood colonized and the site index as an indicator of forest site productivity. The effect of the site index on the colonization of hardwood is greater than that of the measures of current light intensity.

... The first commercial small-scale oil palm plantations were introduced to Myanmar in 1926 covering 120 ha. In the 1980’s the European Economic Community and Swiss
government implemented a palm oil project to stimulate growth in the sector. As of 2014 401,813 ha have been allocated and 134,539 ha planted. The government
target is to plant 282,470 ha by 2030. The land is allocated to 44 companies, comprising 43 local companies and one Foreign Direct Investment. Three foreign
