The amount of firewood that can be purchased from state forestry institutions cannot satisfy die demand. As a result, illegal firewood collection and unauthorized logging are still common. Illegal logging is reported to have decreased significantly (even by 90 per cent over the last 10 years), mostly due to the still increasing availability of other energy sources. Nevertheless, establishing fuelwood plantations in areas less favourable for grazing, in the close vicinity of villages, could further limit the adverse effects of the still strong pressure on forest resources.
