The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

The people of Botswana have always depended on the forest resource base from time immemorial and they continue to depend on it for various goods and services, chief of which continues to be fuelwood. It is said that 83% of the population in Botswana still depends on fuelwood for their energy needs. However, this valuable resource base is under threat from the rapidly expanding human population and its related sectoral agricultural and infrastructural developments, persistent annual veld fires, frequently recurring drought and the subsistence utilization of the forests.
