Forest management and use in Botswana: brief situation analysis and options for the Forest Conservation Strategy

Abstract

This paper describes the situation of Botswana’s forests (section 2) as well as their policy and legislative environment (section 3). A brief analysis is given in section 4, based on the analytical framework developed in the inception report. The analysis leads to forest issues which are guiding the options for the Forest Conservation Strategy (section 5). The analysis and options are meant to be the primary focus of discussions at a workshop (see ToR). Therefore, readers with little reading time are advised to focus on sections 4 and 5.
