(iv)Forest Reserve benefits and Regulations:<br />
The responses on forest benefit were not as detailed as expected, this may be due to little<br />
knowledge <strong>of</strong> what would occur in the absence <strong>of</strong> the forest, rather than due to lack <strong>of</strong><br />
appreciation for the present forest.<br />
The forestry <strong>of</strong>ficers were very clear on the regulations regarding purchase or extraction <strong>of</strong><br />
forestry products. Villagers were also aware <strong>of</strong> the regulations safeguarding forest products<br />
exploitation. However, a few villagers appeared to be unclear <strong>of</strong> the forest rules and<br />
regulations There is probably a communication problem between the two parties, users and<br />
caretakers.<br />
