TRAINING WORKSHOP CONCEPT:
Introduction
Major forests in East Africa face
major challenges from the ever-increasing demands of growing population and
the unsustainable management and utilization. The need to conserve the
existing forest resources has greatly influenced the production of wood
whose demand is increasing. Over-time bamboo resource cover has undergone
changes largely through clearing to provide clear areas for plantations,
cultivation and settlement developments. The area under bamboo is therefore
presently much smaller and, may be only be a small fraction of what was
there by the third decade of the last century.
