Tanzanian Forest Law

  • Chapter

Part of the Environment & Policy book series (ENPO,volume 36)

Abstract

There has been a substantial international influence in Tanzanian Forest law. Firstly, State forest reserves were established by colonial powers, demarcating and alienating forests from customary control. Secondly, forest laws have been developed and implemented by reference to international treaties, conventions and agreements; and thirdly, international donor organisations have assisted in supporting both the creation and implementation of forest policy. Historical contingency has also played a major role in development of Tanzanian forest law. In the last one hundred years or so Tanzania has undergone three major changes of administration, each leaving a legacy of law, policy and land use. Acquisition of the State forest estate has been progressive. Forest reserves gazetted under the German administration of 1891–1919 were retained by the British from 1919–1961 and most are still recognised today by the Tanzanian government. Over time, each administration continued to add to the State controlled area with more forest reserves, game reserves and national parks.
