Delivery of the final report |
BOTSWANA |
Will only be able to provide information on four to five tables. However, this information is outdated. Information on other tables can be obtained from other sources. Information on NWFP and disturbances will be supplied. There was no other information on Table 6 to Table 10 because this kind of information has not yet been generated. Report not yet drafted. |

Will be able to provide information on six out of 15 tables. Problems exist with respect to tables 5, 6, 7 and 10. For table 10, they can only provide a list of common species. The intention to hold a stakeholder workshop failed due to lack of funds. There is no information on NWFP and wood removal. Gambia is a low cover forest country with no plantations. Available information dates from 1987, 1998 and 1999. |
