Indigenous forests are being degraded due to a lack of alternative livelihoods, forcing people to fell trees for low-return charcoal production. Complex regulations and a lack of coordination among government ministries have made conservation difficult. The document presents a conceptual framework for analyzing the charcoal value chain within a landscape context, including production, transport, use and the various actors and factors involved at each stage. It aims to develop a landscape approach for sustainable charcoal management through multi-stakeholder coordination, improved policies, regeneration of woodlands and alternative livelihoods.
