I am currently exploring the potential of indigenous shepherd communities' tree harvesting practices as a means to mitigate tree encroachment in the community managed Mesic Savanna ecosystems. Before delving into a study, I would greatly appreciate your insights and perspectives on this concept. Specifically, I would like to gather opinions and experiences from the forum members regarding the following:
- What are your thoughts on the role of intentional tree planting and selective cutting by indigenous communities in managing tree encroachment in the savanna ecosystem?
- Have you come across similar practices (planting/nurturing tree saplings & harvesting) employed by indigenous communities in other ecosystems, and if so, what have been the observed ecological and socio-economic outcomes?
- How do you view the potential of nurturing tree saplings and implementing selective cutting practices as a more sustainable approach to savanna ecosystem management compared to attempting to prevent all tree growth?
- Are there any specific challenges or considerations that need to be taken into account when implementing such practices in the Mesic Savanna ecosystem or similar ecosystems?
I value your expertise and insights, and your feedback will greatly contribute to shaping my understanding of this concept. Thank you in advance for your valuable input.
