Answer 1

Answer:

Hundreds of millions of people in the developing world rely on forests to earn their living. ... Forests also have more indirect links to livelihoods. Forests provide soil nutrients and forage for crops and livestock. They also help to reduce soil erosion, pollinate crops and provide protection from the elements.

Explanation:

Forests (and uncultivated trees) provide important sources of income to many rural people in the West African forest zone. Forest products such as bush meat and fuel wood are gathered and traded at local and regional markets and are generally destined for urban consumers. Forests also provide the raw materials for artisan and processing activities. Forest products are traded in both local and urban markets, and are sold to meet both rural and urban consumer needs. There are no studies which assess the socio-economic importance of the non-timber forest product trade to rural households and communities, and there are also no studies which evaluate the importance of this trade to regional economies. There are a few studies which focus on the income earned from gathering of forest products. Thus, the following discussion focuses largely on marketing.
