CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of Study
1.2 Statement of Problem
For some time now, the contribution of agriculture to the
nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has reduced (Adegeye, 1996). This
is not only caused as a result of shift from concentration on
agriculture dependence to petroleum but also due to low return from
farming. This is exacerbated by different factors such as capital
limitation, limitation in land supply, old method of farming and
infertile land.
Infertility of land can be as a result of several factors. But
the major factors are land degradation and deforestation. This had
prompted the government to formulate different policies to curtail the
rate of forest and its resources depletion.
The policies have been for decade now, but recorded low result.
This is because; those who dwell in the periphery of forest land have
not been carried along in the policy formation. Forest policies have
always tagged forest communities as indiscriminate user of forest, and
therefore sought to protect forest from misuse (FAO, 2009). This
signified that forest dwellers are not put into consideration during
forest policies formulation. In as much as these people continue to be
close to the forest any forest policy that does not consider the rural
dwellers will continually hit the rock. The rural dwellers will continue
depending on the forest and its resources for their livelihood (FAO,
2009).
The usage of (NTFPs) for domestic purposes and income
generation is on the high side. Over 80 percent of Delta State populace
who lives in rural areas and to little extent some persons who live in
an Urban area of the state depend on (NTFPs) for domestic purpose
(Akaeze, 2010). This is in addition to quantity used daily for other
purposes. The problem of over usage of (NTFPs) such as fuel wood is
attributed to the fact that:
- Petroleum products are not readily available at all time, and it is still on a very high cost.
- The rural populace see the use of fuel-wood as the most convenient, and they try to avoid the risk associated with the use of petroleum product for cooking and heating purposes.
- The poverty level of the nation, hence most of the rural dwellers will continue to depend on forest product for their survival, (Agbogidi and Ofuoko, 2006).
An attempt to use hydro-electricity for domestic cooking
and heating has been proved abortive. This can be attributed to risk
associated with the use of hydro-electricity.
Since non timber forest products dependency will continually be
on the high side. If proper measure is not taken to control this
activity, the forest will disappeared one day. Forest is a reservoir of
resources and as our forest disappears, our resources also
disappeared.
If the indiscriminate exploitation of the forest resources
continues, it will give rise to different problems. These problems are
socio cultural and economic problems. These socio cultural problems are
associated with socio cultural value of the people.
The economic problem, are problem that are concerned with
income generated from forest resources by rural people and the type of
farm practice.
These are the problems that the researcher aimed at addressing.
