Mozambique Loses Around 267,000 Hectares of Forests Per Year: Mozambique
The Director, who was speaking in Maputo, on the sidelines of the First Meeting of the Technical Committee for the Implementation of the Maputo Declaration on the Sustainable and Integrated Management of the Miombo Forests, explained that with the forest areas that are lost, Mozambique could have taken advantage of non-timber forest products such as medicinal plants that could provide a great deal of income.
For the implementation of these actions, Mozambique has already raised around 17 million dollars, out of a total of around 30 million dollars needed for the implementation of the plan of action, which should be in force for a period of two years. The pressure on the resources of the Miombo forest, according to Afonso, is at its most intense in the provinces of Zambézia, Nampula, and Niassa, despite the low population density of Niassa.
