Local people planting trees, showing their understanding in forestry

The special meeting that convened on Monday the 13^th.May.2013 and prepared by Nyanza district forestry task force requested increase of forestry hectares from 11% land to 30%. This will be done in the whole of Nyanza district with much emphasis on Amayaga area.

Engineer Philbert Usengimana the forestry officer in Nyanza district says this goal will be achieved by the next year 2014. He explained that Nyanza district is one of the districts in the country with few forests yet there is always a need for forests products.

The forestry officer explained that the solution to curb lack of cooking materials is increasing the hectares where forests are grown. Another strategy is to take good care of the existing forests and those to be grown and to be harvested according to the set regulations.

Jean d’Amour Musabyemungu who was in attendance of this task force meeting in Nyanza district says Nyanza district has to prepare seeds for the tress on time and people to grow trees on time so as to avoid the mistake that was done in 2012.

“In 2012, seeds were prepared at the district level and reached the sectors late and the goal was never realized” he says.

People who attended the task force meeting vowed to realize the goal of increasing the hectares of forests with the support of Nyanza district partners in development.

Children heading to the camp from collecting firewood

Residents near Kiziba refugee camp in Karongi district have appealed to the government for help over refugees who are destroying forests in search of firewood.

Located in Rwankuba sector in Karongi district, Kiziba camp has over 16000 Congolese refugees that have been in this camp for over 15 years.

Though high commission for refugees (HCR) supplies firewood in the camp, sometimes refugees go for four months without getting firewood.

In this situation, they are left with no option but to look for firewood in nearby government forests and sometimes proceed to cut trees in residents forests.

Jean Berkimas Hitimana after catching two refugees from Kiziba camp collecting tree trunks from his forest

Jean Berkimas Hitimana, resident of Gasharu village in Nyarusanga cell told this to the reporter after finding him stopping refugees from taking his trees.

“These trees belong to my forest. I have to stop them because it’s the only source of income for me, however, some take them by force and others pass where I cannot see them,” he laments.  

One of the Rwankuba sector authorities who preferred anynormous explained that this problem is beyond the districts capacity.

He adds that HCR had an agreement with a contractor in Kigali who won the tender without stating where he will be getting firewood from.

When Congolese refugees came to Kizinda camp in 1996, they used firewood from all the government’s forests around the camp to an extent that all areas around are void of trees.

Though residents understand and not happy about the fact that refugees lack firewood, they confess they are protecting the forests because it’s their property and source of income.
