Abstract
The paper assesses the sustainability of fuelwood production in regard to REDD+ in southern Burkina Faso. Data collection included a review of the forest management plans, an inventory of 135 plots in addition to silvicultural observations in three Forest Management Units. Fuelwood production data exceeded data from approved management plans by 50%. The conversion of forests to farmlands was observed in two parcels in addition to bush fire and grazing activities – an indication that minimum safeguard measures were not respected. The use of chain saws, capacity strengthening, political will and the effective implementation of approved management plans can all ensure the sustainability of fuelwood production.
