Taylor and Tabitha J. Mason1 This paper investigates the present status of Botswana's natural resources, many of which are forest based. Government is changing it's policy and this paper outlines one non-governmental organisation's (NGO) innovative attempt to take advantage of the new situation for the benefit of both biodiversity and the rural population. Botswana is a semi-arid landlocked country, 85% of which may be classified as woodland savannah. It is currently experiencing problems of deforestation, overgrazing, soil degradation and diminishing land productivity. These problems are rooted in the evolution from nomadic pastoralism to sedentary pastoralism and arable agriculture which occurred this century due to increasing population. The problems have been exacerbated by inadequate government policy limited in scope to forest reserves and national parks. Management of villages' natural resources has been virtually non-existent. Since 1994, the Government has been developing one of the most enlightened policies in Africa with regard to natural resources. In particular, it has been trying to improve the quality of life of rural people whilst countering the loss of biodiversity. This is mainly done by encouraging rural communities to develop their own strategies for the sustainable utilisation and management of their natural resources. Government has also highlighted the need for farmers to diversify away from pastoralism and traditional arable agriculture. Veld Products Research (VPR), a local NGO, has recognised the potential of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) to improve food security and provide alternative sustainable sources of income for Botswana's rural population. The organisation is currently researching all aspects of NTFP development such as agroforestry, sustainable harvesting, production, processing and marketing. It has recently established a Community Based Natural Resource Development Project. Keywords: Agroforestry, community, domestication, NTFPs, sustainable management. 1 Veld Products Research; POB 2020 Gaborone, Botswana; fax: (267) 347047 Next Section   Download the Pdf file for this topic (182 K) What is a Pdf file ?   Back to Top of the page
