Appendix 2: Calculations for direct use values by households1.1 Firewood: Using the residual valueThe household surveys carried out showed that on average sample households used277 headlots of firewood per year. The amount collected was more than double that ofother forests blocks because the collections are sold in the vibrant firewood markets inMolo and Elburgon. It takes two person hours to collect one headlot; an 8 hour wage isKES 150. The collection costs = (1/8*150 = 38). The local price per headlot is KES 100. Theproportion of the households that depended on the forest for firewood was 80%.The annual value of firewood extracted = (0.8x277x47802.3x (100-38)= KES 656,765,360.The same is straight from the table: 0.8×277×47802.3x (100-38) = KES 656,765,360.1.2 PolesThe household surveys carried out showed that, on average, sample households used188 construction poles per year. The amount collected was higher for the Eastern Mauas some of the poles were sold to urban traders in Molo and Elburgon. It takes 22minutes to collect 1 pole; an 8 hour wage is KES 150. The collection costs = (150×22/8×60=KES 7). The local price per pole is KES 100. The proportion of the households thatdepended on the forest for firewood was 60%. The annual value of poles extracted =(0.6×188×47802.3x (100-7) = KES 501,465,248.1.3 Timber: Residual costsThe household surveys carried out showed that, on average, sample households used0.06m 3 of sawn wood timber per year in Eastern Mau. Processing 1m 3 of sawn wood bypower saw costs KES 9,500. The local price of 1m 3 of sawn wood is KES 15,700. Theproportion of the households that processed sawn wood was 47%. The annual value ofsawn wood processed from the forest =(0.47X X 0.06X (15700-9500) = KES 7,112,982.1.4 Water for livestockAll the households within 5 km Eastern Mau all watered their animals from streamsinside or emerging from the forest. The livestock unit equivalent of the livestock keptwas 47,802.3. We assumed that each livestock units (LU) consumes 35 litres per day.The water demand per LU per year = 40×365 days/1000 =14.6m 3 . To take the animals tothe river and back takes 2 person hours and hence the cost = 2/8×150 = KES 38 per day81
