| This paper reported the findings of a questionnaire survey in eight villages in eastern Sudan. Women were questioned about their use of wood and attitudes to forest management. The study was part of an FAO project to develop fuelwood resources, but the survey made it clear that women did not share the FAO’s perception of fuelwood shortages. Women cooked more than three times a day and used the same amount of wood across the whole geographic range of fuelwood abundance. They knew a great deal about trees, and used them for fuel, crafts, medicines, shade, shelter and fruit, but did not plant them. The author recommended that women be trained in tree planting and improved stoves. | ||
