Tenure and land use
It is possible, at national or sub-national level, to view or obtain maps indicating forest ownership and current permit-holders for different forest use? So, for example, it is possible to calculate what proportion of forest land has documented title, or what proportion is under logging concessions? Are such maps digitised?
Are ownership and forest land use maps available?
There are no ownership and forest land use maps. Several localized disputes exist in various communities between different claimants to a piece of land, most of who usually have site plans and maps of various kinds which are not necessarily codified. Newspaper publications on disputes arising from unclear tenure arrangements abound.
