dc.description.abstractThe study makes six recommendations focusing on tree planting, governance and building resilience against climate change, including promoting high value forest based enterprises such as beekeeping and mushroom cultivation. The study examines the extent to which communities in the study area (Malawi, in the Liwonde-Mangochi Protected Area Complex) access forest resources; the role of the forest resources in people’s livelihood and food security; threats to forestry resources; and local level strategies capable of managing forest resources sustainably. In most households (83.7%), adult females are responsible for collecting fuel wood, literally carrying the burden of climate change challenges.en
