Abstract:
|
"I see the lack of technical competence and capacity of the relevant authorities as the major challenge in forest management and conservation in Madagascar, including the understaffing of local forest administrations. This is partly the result of a lack of political will at both the central and provincial level to implement the forest management principles and procedures that were developed with assistance of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Ensuring that forest and protected area management benefits the Malagasy population also poses a challenge. This means achieving revenue generation and protection of Madagascar’s unique biodiversity through the development of a coherent land use policy, which coordinates agriculture, mining, forestry, plantation and conservation interests."
