“…Education levels of beekeepers are predominantly at primary and secondary education levels, due to the small population of young beekeepers. This result is similar with that provided by Lunyamadzo (2016) and Uisso et al (2018). Almost all of the beekeepers stated that they received formal training.…”

Turkey holds a significant place in the globe in terms of bee colonies and honey production because of the country's unique geographical and climate structure. Ordu province ranks first in Turkey for honey production. This study was carried out by interviewing 60 beekeepers from four different districts who were members of the Ordu province beekeeping cooperative to reveal their current beekeeping situation and to determine the factors affecting the adoption of beehives developed to increase honey production. Descriptive statistics and logistic models were used to analyze the data. One of the important findings of the study was that 93% of the beekeepers interviewed use traditional hives while using box hives at the same time. Traditional wooden hives were found to be used instead of box hives for reasons such as excessive humidity, a cold environment for bees, low production and, increased bee disease. Age groups of beekeepers had negatively influenced the adoption of the box hive. The education levels of the participants were primary and secondary education levels and their average age was calculated as 60.72. However, it was determined that 98.3% of the participating beekeepers received formal training in beekeeping. All participants emphasized that forests are very important for beekeeping. While all the participants stated that honey forests are also a useful and appropriate practice, 96.7% (n=58) stated that they were not adequately informed about honey forests. Therefore, the establishment of honey forests in order to rehabilitate the degraded forests and offer them to the forest villagers and rural people is important in terms of reducing the pressure on forests, protecting biodiversity and sustainable rural development.

“…Although there are reports of successful community engagement in some cases (e.g. Uisso et al, 2019), elsewhere disenfranchisement is emphasized (Bartholdson et al, 2019). More generally, REDD+ projects exist within a complicated web of NGOs, consultants, government agencies, businesses and international bodies.…”

Conservation scientists continue to debate the strengths and weaknesses of REDD+ as an instrument to slow greenhouse gas emissions in the developing world. We propose that general positions on this debate are less helpful than drawing lessons from specific investigations into the features of individual projects that make them successful or not. Here, focusing on a site-specific REDD+ intervention in Pemba, Zanzibar (Tanzania), we examine the circumstances under which REDD+ has a chance of success, teasing out specific features of both REDD+ interventions and the socio-economic and institutional contexts that render REDD+ a potentially valuable complement to community forestry. Additionally, we highlight some unanticipated positive outcomes associated with the design features of REDD+ projects. Our broader goal is to move away from ideologically-driven debate to empirically-based identification of general conditions where REDD+ could work, and to provide policy recommendations.

“…Whereas previous forest management and conservation have mostly been analysed at the village or community level in Tanzania and elsewhere (Raphael, and Swai, 2009;Phiri et al, 2012;Tesfaye et al, 2012;Turyahabwe et al, 2013;Treue et al, 2014;Siraj et al, 2016;Uisso et al, 2019), the analyses encompassing wealth groups/strata are limited. In previous studies in the area (Uisso et al, 2018;Uisso et al, 2019) we focused on the role of Village Land Forest Reserves (VLFRs) in the implementation of land use plans, forest management and conservation before and after the implementation of land use plan. The question remains on how community perceive forest management and conservation across wealth groups under the intervention of VPLUPs in the REDD+ initiative.…”

Do Community Perceptions of Forest Management and Conservation Vary Across Wealth Groups? The Case of the Kilosa REDD + Initiative in Tanzania

Various community groups tend to interact with their environments differently. Understanding how these groups interact with their forests provides important insights for promoting sustainable forest governance. This study focused on understanding community across wealth groups (poor, medium, better-off) of their perceptions on forest management and conservation under the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation plus (REDD+) initiative in Tanzania. Results showed that whereas community general awareness on forest management and conservation across wealth groups signi cantly varied, their perceptions on the extent of occurrences of several aspects/attributes of forest management and conservation were relatively symmetrical across all wealth groups. There was no signi cant difference in perceptions across the wealth group in the indicators of forest management and conservation. Community willingness to participate in forest management and conservation was also not signi cantly different across all wealth groups, with the exception of participation in training/workshop for which the difference was signi cant across wealth groups. Overall, community perceptions are of mixed results, however, they didn't vary much between wealth categories, either there was or wasn't signi cant difference. The observed similarities and variations across wealth groups within the community are a key to inform future REDD+ actions. Thus, policies, plans and strategies related to REDD+ should consider these dynamics.
