Timber Services

This module focuses on assessing the timber stocks and flows contained with the Eastern Arc and estimating their value.

Work has so far entailed assembling the existing forest inventories undertaken in Tanzania and mapping these across the region to show the volume of timber available.

Through collaboration with York University KITE programme, a database of more than 800km of 'disturbance transects' has also been assembled that helps understand the levels of timber harvesting in the region.

This work is being led by Sokoine University of Agriculture in Tanzania, in collaboration with Cambridge University and University of York.
