In this context, conflicts between state forest institutions and local people over land and forest have been entailed or intensified. It is assumed that this situation depends on the lack of understanding of customary land and forest use and missing involvement of local people in the current development processes to a wide extend. This study aims at harmonising local pattern of land and forest use and customary tenure with government’s reforestation program and relevant legal framework. The current land use and forest use of the ethnic minority group of the Hmong is diagnosed. The procedure and outcome of reforestation practices are analysed. Based upon that, the study examines the conflicts over land and forest associated with the ...

In Africa, there is dry and rainy season transhumance (PAMO AND PIEPER, 2000). Dry season movement is the most important due to the lack of forage or water or both. Rainy season displacement is complex and the reasons for it are multiple. In Ethiopia, pastoralism is dominant in the arid and semi-arid areas in the eastern, northeastern and southeastern parts of the country, while agropastoralism represents an increasing practice in the semi-arid areas in the northwestern, southern and eastern parts of the country (TESFAYE MENGSITIE, 2008). The highlands (> 1500 masl), that occupy 39% of the land area, are important for cereal cultivation and mixed crop-livestock enterprise, while the arid to semi-arid lowlands (that occupy 61% of the land area), are dominated by livestock production. Nort...
