Almost 80 per cent of the country\u2019s population obtains from the forests domestic fuel (charcoal and firewood), food, medicines, building materials and raw material for the timber industry.<\/p>\n<p>Excluding forest contribution to domestic fuel, environmental services to society as well as income for local communities based on informal business involving forestry products, Nyusi indicated that estimates point to a two per cent annual contribution of the forests to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to expectations, over the last 20 years of implementation of the current forestry and wildlife legislation, the country has been increasingly losing its forest coverage. Population growth and a consequent demand for forestry products exert a huge pressure over resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation demands special attention from the government in order to improve the forestry administration and governance, promote public and private dialogue and community involvement, to ensure the sector\u2019s contribution to harmonious and balanced growth across the country,\u201d Nyusi added.<\/p>\n<p>Mozambique, Nyusi stated, is a signatory to a wide range of regional and international protocols, treaties and conventions on climate, wetlands, desertification, sustainable management of forests and accountable governance of forests and land.<\/p>\n<p>The review of the law, he said, must take into account challenges such as the need to value non-timber forest products, acknowledging their economic, social and cultural importance; include climate change issues; and boost from just two to four per cent the contribution to the GDP.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/NyusiConfioemti\/posts\/498818468270563\"><b>Facebook Post click here<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
