Household Energy in Annangland: Its Crisis, Consequences and Reversal Strategies

Maurice A. Okoji and Julia Moses

Energy & Environment, 1997, vol. 8, issue 4, 313-321

Abstract: The daily use of fuelwood in both rural and urban areas in Annangland, the amount carried daily to the latter areas and its rising price in the towns aroused the authors' interest in the supply of firewood in Annangland. A survey was conducted in four of the six local-government areas of the region. The immediate result was that the level of supply had reached a crisis stage. Causes of the crisis, its impact on the environment and those that use it directly, as well as means of reversing the crisis were than studied and analysed. To stem the threatening ecological disaster, research with the active participation of the communities, from the planning stage to the use of the product of research, is crucial.
