Abstract

A climate change mitigation mechanism, Reducing Emission from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) is anticipated to affect livelihoods of forest dependent communities. This study was conducted to establish this impact on livelihoods of local people in Rungwe District, Tanzania. Data were collected through questionnaires, group discussions, and interviews from three villages: Syukula, Ilolo and Kibisi. Results showed that households annual income and crop production are higher after REDD+ implementation. The older respondents (>40 years old) considered REDD+ to be important for forest management compared to younger generation (<40 years old) (p < 0.05). Similarly, the older respondents considered wood forest products such as fuelwood, charcoal, timber and poles to be reduced. There was a widespread awareness about REDD+’s objectives among household respondents. Therefore, REDD+ proponents should implement alternative sources of livelihoods to help local people improve their income and reduce dependence on the forest resources and eventually decrease deforestation and forest degradation.

坦桑尼亚Rungwe地区REDD+项目现状及对当地居民生计的影响评估

气候变化减缓机制“减少毁林和森林退化造成的排放”(REDD+)预计将影响依赖森林的社区的生计。进行这项研究是为了确定这对坦桑尼亚Rungwe地区当地人民生计的影响。通过问卷调查、小组讨论和访谈从三个村庄:苏库拉、伊洛洛和基比西收集数据。结果表明，实施REDD+后农户年收入和作物产量均有所提高。与年轻一代(<40岁)相比，年龄较大的受访者(40 ~ 40岁)认为REDD+对森林管理很重要(p < 0.05)。同样，年龄较大的答复者认为应减少薪柴、木炭、木材和杆子等木质森林产品。家庭受访者普遍意识到REDD+的目标。因此，REDD+的支持者应该实施替代生计来源，帮助当地居民提高收入，减少对森林资源的依赖，最终减少毁林和森林退化。
