dc.description.abstract	This poster introduces key concepts in the Participatory Geographic Information System Project, where forestry resources are critical in supporting livelihoods through the provision of both wood and non-wood forest products as well as carbon sequestration, water retention, soil erosion control and nutrient cycling. 95% of people in the Liwonde-Mangochi Protected Area Complex depend on forests for their energy demands. Recommendations include investment in affordable fuel-efficient clay stoves, rural electricity provision, and the propagation of indigenous Acacia polycantha tree for fuelwood.	en
