What does the study look at
indigenous knowledge of the Zigi community and forest management decision making
published where
journal of natural resources and development
how has indigenous knowledge been viewed
invalid and unreliable within forest management
it has been replaced with western scientific knowledge
the issue with western scientific knowledge
forests are still declining
the Zigi community: location
Mountains
Zigi community: survival
through the land, forest and water resources
Zigi community: protected areas
the Zigi catchment is surrounded by forest reserves and nature reserves, limiting the use of forests
Zigi community: uses of forests
wild food
traditional medicine
workshipping
firewood
Zigi community: varied uses
The different communities use the forest differently
How are they strategic in how they use the forest
- only using certain trees for construction that will last a long time
- they grow crops that require forest cover, therefore do not need to clear forests
Sacred uses of forest
don’t use certain parts of the land
believe if they go past a certain point they will disappear
cant bathe in the source of the Zigi river or will die
forest governance
disturb the links between the indigenous and forest resources
