The objective of this case study is to describe and document management practices and experiences for the protected KS forest reserves in western Zimbabwe. This is achieved through providing a broad diagnostic assessment of the status and dynamics of forest resources, describing the management approaches/systems, giving an overview of the purpose of managing the forests, describing the full range of stakeholders and their interests and participation in managing the forests, and providing a description of the tools used in planning and/or management of the forests. This case study is intended for managers, administrators, planners, researchers and college and university students, but may further serve as inspiration to others interested and engaged in the management of KS teak forests regionally.
