Abstract:

This study investigated the physical and mechanical properties of Toona ciliata (Australian Red Cedar), a lesser-known timber species grown in agroforestry farms in Moshi Rural District, Kilimanjaro Region in Tanzania, with a focus on some of its physical and mechanical properties and potential substitution for well-known timber species in various applications. Whereas the physical properties were Wood Colour and Basic Density, the mechanical properties were Static Bending (Modulus of Elasticity/Bending strength, Modulus of Rupture/Stiffness and Work to Maximum Load), Compression parallel to g

Abstract:

Coconut palm wood is commonly regarded as a sustainable building material. Nonetheless, its adoption as a green building material by the construction industry is limited, particularly in West Africa. This paper analyses the impediments to the effective adoption of coconut palm wood in residential building construction. The research data was collected from literature reviews, expert-based surveys, and semi-structured interviews with specialists from the construction sector, African Timber Organization, governmental institutions related to forestry and construction, university professors, and re

Abstract:

Ensuring the sustainability of forests is among the priority measures to be taken against the decline in biodiversity, which is among the world’s increasingly common concerns. This study investigated whether sustainable forest management processes are considering wildlife conservation objectives. Ten forest management processes were categorized and then analyzed for whether wildlife conservation is adequately considered. The wildlife data were grouped into four categories, with the most common being the protection of biodiversity and wildlife trade. The satisfaction level obtained according to

Abstract:

The article offers insight into the main stages of the formation of forestry into an independent branch of the economy in African countries, the forest areas of which constitute a common ecosystem, one of the largest in the world. The features of the system of relations between the main subjects of economic activity in the forest sector, that developed during the colonial period, and its subsequent evolution after the transition to the planned formation of the forest management sphere are characterized. The results of the implementation of forest management plans in concessions are analyzed, i

Abstract:

Remote sensing analyses focused on non-timber forest product (NTFP) collection and grazing are current research priorities of land systems science. However, mapping these particular land use patterns in rural heterogeneous landscapes is challenging because their potential signatures on the landscape cannot be positively identified without fine-scale land use data for validation. Using field-mapped resource areas and household survey data from participatory mapping research, we combined various Landsat-derived indices with ancillary data associated with human habitation to model the intensity o

<strong>ABSTRACT</strong> Diarrhoea is one of the main causes of death worldwide in children and adult alike. In view of this problem, the World Health Organization has encouraged studies for treatment and prevention of diarrhoea diseases depending on traditional medicinal practices. Anti-diarrhoeal effect of crude aqueous extracts of the stem, leaf and flower of <em>Gymnema sylvestre</em> was assessed in castor oil-induced diarrhoea at doses of 700, 1500 and 2000 mg/kg b.w, using <em>Rattus novergicus</em>.

Abstract:

Wood durability around the world in a global climate change context. Wood has long been one of the world’s primary building materials, and it remains so today despite competition from alternative materials (e.g., PVC, fiberglass, concrete). Worldwide wood consumption is on the rise, and this trend is set to continue, given the growing importance of the bioeconomy (FAO 2022). This rising demand for wood to provide local construction materials with a low environmental impact is all the more pronounced in the southern countries, where demographic growth is high.

AbstractSub-Saharan Africa receives large investments in biodiversity conservation, and if these investments can be concentrated on the highest threats to biodiversity, the benefits to conservation from the investments would increase. Yet there is no available prioritization of the many direct threats to biodiversity to inform organizations developing sub-Saharan or sub-regional conservation strategies. Consequently, regional investments by funders of biodiversity conservation such as international conservation organizations, foundations, and bilateral and multilateral donors may be suboptimal
