Tanzania mushrooms

Source: National Forest Resources Monitoring and Assessment of Tanzania (NAFORMA). 2015. Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, Tanzania. Methodology: The map shows the locations of NAFORMA clusters where mushrooms were observed. Background: Non-timber forest products are important benefits that the forest provide to the population of Tanzania. REDD+ activities could be designed to assist communities to sustainably extract subsistence or income sources from the forest, where possible. Mushrooms were observed mostly in the south. The NAFORMA inventory found that nearly 30% of interviewed households collected plant-based food from the forest.
