Question

"Tropical forests are not the same everywhere". Enumerate the
statement​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. There exist important areas under small- and large-scale holders containing secondary forests, which, through appropriate technological and political intervention, can be expanded and/or enriched in terms of their economic and ecological values.

2. Secondary forests are highly variable in their ecological characteristics and in terms of the objectives of management regimes imposed on them by forest owners/managers. By inference, it is highly probable that the required interventions are equally variable. These two hypotheses touch on two closely related issues relevant to this workshop. The Anglophone African countries represented here are endowed with varying categories of woody vegetation formations. This is a geographical and ecological fact, but it is also a political fact in that Anglophone African countries are former colonies of Great Britain. In general terms, therefore, one could say that, for every country, the ecological and geographical factors of the national forest patrimony constitute the natural constraints within which a well directed political, institutional and technological policy should operate in order to maintain or even improve the integrity/value of that national patrimony.
