There is no overemphasising that most, if not all, African cultures have at least some rudimentary aspects of conservation in the modern sense. These aspects constitute the strong colours that could be used to create an indelible picture of the importance of conservation on the continent.Forest managementAfricaForestry and communitySustainable forestryElectronic books.Forest managementForestry and community.Sustainable forestry.333.75096Inyang Ekpe1963-888608MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463491203321The forest2205066UNINA
