“…These figures are similar to those found in other regions of Argentina (Cardoso et al, 2012) and Latin America (Ramos and Albuquerque, 2012); however, they are somewhat lower than those reported in Asia and Africa, where the population relies more on forest resources (San et al, 2012). In general, the different uses that people make of firewood agree with those reported in other studies and areas of the world, as well as their preference for cooking with embers.…”

“…As compared to other geographical areas in the world, the amount of species used in this area is similar to those used in northeast Brazil (Ramos et al, 2008) and in Cambodia (San et al, 2012). It is also significantly higher than other areas in Argentina; in some cases, about two and a half times more than those found in the Patagonian steppe (Cardoso et al, 2012(Cardoso et al, , 2013, and almost double the amount in eastern Catamarca (Gadban, 1999).…”

“…Another aspect to consider in relation to sustainability and the different socio-economic characteristics of the population of Bamba and La Rancherita is the composition of household units and the per capita use of Ps and Dp. As suggested by San et al (2012) average fuelwood consumption per capita in large-sized households is shown to be lower for cooking and boiling water than in small-sized households. In fact, local people subject to in-depth interviews, even today, develop a type of economy with traces of subsistence patterns.…”

“…The state, abundance and availability of timber resources notably influence the local perception of the quality of nearby forests and ecosystems, as people turn to them in order to meet basic needs such as food, shelter and energy supply for the development of household activities (FAO, 2008). Research into fuel resources includes patterns of firewood collection and use from an ecological perspective (Tabuti et al, 2003;Cardoso et al, 2013); their relation with socio-cultural and eco-environmental variables (Thomas et al, 2011;Cardoso et al, 2012Cardoso et al, , 2013; the impact of firewood extraction on the structure, distribution and biomass of forest species (Chettri et al, 2002); the influence of seasonal variations on firewood collection patterns (Ramos and Albuquerque, 2012); cultural preferences and/or frequency of firewood use and their relationship with its intrinsic properties (Abbot et al, 1997;Kataki and Konwer, 2002;Tabuti et al, 2003;Ramos et al, 2008a,b); and firewood consumption patterns and rates in relation to its end use (Kituyi et al, 2001;San et al, 2012).…”

“…The demand for energy is partly met by firewood, which is a primary energy source in many developing countries (Kennes et al 1984;Hosier and Kipondya 1993;Bhatt et al 1994;Tabuti et al 2003;Chen et al 2006;Khuman et al 2011;San et al 2012;Rehnus et al 2013). This is particularly critical in mountainous regions, where limited energy sources lead to high pressure on scarce natural resources.…”

Open access article: please credit the authors and the full source.Firewood is a major energy source, especially in many high mountainous regions in developing countries where other energy sources are limited. In the mountainous regions of Tajikistan, current energy consumption is limited owing to geographic isolation and numerous challenges-including in the energy sector-that emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Tajikistan's independence. The sudden disruption of external supplies of energy forced people to rely on locally available but scarce biomass resources, such as firewood and animal dung. We conducted an empirical study to gain an understanding of current household energy consumption in the Western Pamirs of Tajikistan and the factors that influence firewood consumption. For this purpose, we interviewed members of 170 households in 8 villages. We found that, on average, households consumed 355 kg of firewood, 253 kWh of electricity, 760 kg of dung, and 6 kg of coal per month in the winter of 2011-2012. Elevation, size of a household's private garden, and total hours of heating had a positive relationship with firewood consumption, and education level and access to a reliable supply of electricity showed a negative relationship.

Tropical forests significantly contribute to local livelihoods as well as global carbon storage and biodiversity conservation. Therefore, a strategy that harmonizes a better quality of life for local people with tropical forest conservation is required. In Community-based ecotourism (CBET), the local community participates in related economic activities. In this chapter, we summarize our current studies that quantified the contribution of CBET to the income and livelihoods of local people and forest conservation. We selected the Chambok CBET site in Cambodia for our case study. First, we quantified the effectiveness of CBET in forest conservation by analyzing forest cover change with published maps created from satellite images. Second, we evaluated the contribution of CBET to household income and livelihood changes through a household survey using a questionnaire. Analysis of the forest cover change maps revealed that deforestation had significantly decreased inside the CBET area as compared to outside it, although the reduction was not enough to stop net deforestation. The survey revealed that the total monthly income of CBET member households and non-CBET households was not significantly different. It also showed that the community members felt the livelihood change after the implementation of CBET. However, this change may have been caused by general socioeconomic changes in Cambodia. We conclude that CBET effectively contributed to forest conservation but in a limited capacity to household income.
