  • Mezimbite indeed looks to have the key elements well in place: local people are empowered rather than coerced; they are given an economic interest in investing in forests – which is the vital step. So, congratulations, lets hope this becomes a model that is imitated.

  • Mezimbite Forest Center is doing precisely the kind of work that’s reflected in the ideas I was promoting. Taken together, planting, husbanding, and using hardwoods in the way you are doing at your Center is very much among the practices that are needed to make economic development sustainable.
