Sustainability of Forests in Kenya: Emerging Issues

Mary Omosa

Chapter Chapter 11 in Environment and Sustainable Development in Eastern and Southern Africa, 1998, pp 161-175 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The non-sustainability of land cover is an indicator of Africa’s growing inability to contain her development problems. In many parts of the continent, poverty and lack of alternatives have led to indiscriminate felling of trees to create more land for agriculture and settlement. Alongside this, similar economic pressures and unprecedented population growth have resulted in land fragmentation leading to the collapse of formerly stable tree cultivation systems.
