One of the most pressing problems confronting development planners in Africa is how to increase local supplies of fuelwood. As explained in a donorcommissioned report at the begining of the current decade:1. Not nearly enough trees are being planted to meet future rural and urban needs: during the next 20 years, 'annual fuelwood planting will need to increase by about 15 times over current levels', and even this assumes optimistically that 'up to a fourth of future fuelwood demand will be met by conservation or... alternative fuels'. In fact, negligible resources are being devoted to establishing new 'plantations of any significant size'.2
