| Abstract: | This study uses remote sensing data to quantitatively examine the impact of establishing
participatory forest management associations in Ethiopia. The results indicate that where there
is a forest association, forest area declines more in the year the association is established than it
does in a forest area where there is no association. This suggests that villagers may engage in
“last-minute” logging. However, one year after associations are established, forest area where
there is an association increases substantially, probably due to the associations planting trees at
boundary areas between forest and non-forest and monitoring illegal logging. On average,
where there are forest associations, forest area increases by 1.5 percent in the first two years,
while forest area where there is no association declines by 3.3 percent. Totaling this impact over
two years yields a 4.8 percent positive net increase in the rate of change. |
