Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) from natural forests in sub-Saharan Africa provide significant benefits to rural communities. In this study conducted on the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, we assumed that the extraction of NTFPs by local communities is related to sex, income, age, household size, and distance from the forest. We interviewed 313 household heads from six villages. We employed a logistic regression with a logit link to test the significance among the variables. Younger females of larger households with lower income and less cultivated land cut fodder and collected firewood more frequently than other villagers. Firewood collection frequency decreased with increasing distance from village to forest whereas fodder collection frequency increased. Men collected medicinal plants more frequently than younger women and if the distance from the village was greater. For firewood and fodder extraction, inter-village variation was greater than intra-village variation, suggesting that differences in access to infrastructure and alternative fodder sites also strongly determined NTFP extraction. Our results contribute to a better targeted participatory forest management.

决定山坡上非木材林产品开采的社会经济因素。坦桑尼亚乞力马扎罗山

来自撒哈拉以南非洲天然林的非木材林产品 (NTFP) 为农村社区带来了巨大的好处。在这项研究中进行的山脚下。坦桑尼亚乞力马扎罗山,我们假设当地社区对 NTFP 的提取与性别、收入、年龄、家庭规模和与森林的距离有关。我们采访了来自六个村庄的 313 位户主。我们采用带有 logit 链接的逻辑回归来测试变量之间的显着性。与其他村民相比,收入较低、耕地较少的大户的年轻女性割草和拾柴的频率更高。木柴收集频率随着村庄到森林距离的增加而减少,而饲料收集频率增加。男性比年轻女性更频繁地采集药用植物,并且与村庄的距离更远。对于木柴和饲料提取,村间差异大于村内差异,这表明基础设施和替代饲料地点的差异也强烈决定了 NTFP 提取。我们的结果有助于更有针对性的参与式森林管理。
