I. INTRODUCTION Mozambique is endowed with considerable forests which is translated
into great biological diversity and habitats for wildlife;
These resources contributed with :• 0,1% in the annual GDP, from 2003 a 2011 (INE, 2012);• More than 18.000 Employments
― 10.000 in the management of native forest (6.000 permanent and 4.000 sasonal)― 8.000 in forest plantations
• Environmental goods and services
The Policy and Strategy for the Development of Forestry, defines as objective Protect, conserve, develop and utilise racionally and sustainably the forestry resources for the economic, social and ecological benefict of the present and future generation of Mozambicans.

II. OBJECTIVE OF THE PRESENTATION
Report on the Forest Management in Mozambique

III. LEGAL FRAMEWORK The management of forestry resources is guided by the
following legal framework :
• Policy and Strategy for the Development of Forest and Wildlife, approved by the Resolution 8/97, of 1st of April
• Law n.º 10/99, of 7th July (Law of Forestry and Wildlife), establishes the principles and basic norms about protection, conservation and sustainable utilisation of forestry and wildlife resources;
• Law n.º 7/2010, of 13th August, which creates the tax valuation of timber aiming to promote timber processing within the country and reduce the exports of logs and create more employment opportunities.

IV. FORESTRY POTENTIAL
Forest Inventory 2007 Forest Area: 54,8 million
hectares, (≈ 70% of the total area of the country): • 26,9 million hectares of
productive forest • 13,2 million hectares of
conservation areas; and• 14,7 million hectares of other
woody coverage: bushes, open forest and forest subject to slash and burn agriculture

• The annual allowable volume cut (CAA) is
estimated between 515,7 - 640,5 thousand m3/ano,
based on the available volume of timber with
comercial value.
• The average volume of the annual timber
harvesting is about 250,000 m3;

V. FOREST MANAGEMENT
ACCESS The forest management in the country is undertaken under 3 regimes: Own Consumption (for local communities the harvesting of forestry and wildlife resources anytime of the year is not subject to taxes);Simple licenses; andForest Concessions.

V. FOREST MANAGEMENT (cont)Simple licenses Simple licenses
Simple Licenses (Decree nº 30/2012, 1st August) Exclusive to National citizens; Contract for Exploration valid for 5 years renewable valid for 5 years renewable; Management Plan Management Plan for one continuous area not continuous area not
larger than 10,000 hectares;larger than 10,000 hectares; Payment of annual taxes for land ocupationannual taxes for land ocupation; and Maximum Annual Volume 500 m3.

From 2010 to 2014, is recorded an increase of about 25%, in the number of sawmills (from 201 Sawmills to 251);
The majority installed by middlemen dedicated to exporting timber.
Overall, with obsolote machinery and low industrial eficiency and recovery of 45 - 50%;
The idea is to promote sawmills associate with final products units.
VII. TIMBER EXPORTATION The Forest legislation allows the exportation of
Timber in logs for precious species and 2ª, 3ª e 4ª classes and its not allowade exporting of logs of the species of the first classe;
The major exporting points in the country are:• Ports of Beira, Nacala, Pemba, Quelimane and Maputo,
and
• Borders between Mozambique with Tanzania, South Africa, Malawi and Zambia.

VII. TIMBER EXPORTATION (Cont...)
15
Increase of Exportation of processed timber (from 176,572 m3 in 2010 to 363,925 m3 in 2014), steming
from the implementation of the Exporting timber legislation which restricts exporting of timber in logs;
Also the exporting of logs incresed (from 22,846 m3 in 2010 to 140,307 m3 in 2014)
- Main reason was the introduction in market of new species which are allowed to export in logs
VIII. LOCAL COMMUNITY
Ministerial Diploma no 93/05 of 04th May, sets the mechanisms of channelling of 20% of the taxes of the forestry and wildlife exploration for the benefit of local communities living in the surroundings of where forestry exploration takes place.
- In this process were identifyed and organised 1.089 local communies and channelled 157.138.004,54 Meticais (about USD 4 million);

IX: CHALLENGES
Improvement of the Consultation Forum with participation of Goverment, Private sector, NGO and Local community
Increase in Local processing of timber and export of timber products with added value (final products).
Incentive to investors to install timber processing Units, including furniture processing facilities.
Strengthen the capacity of the forest sector to monitor the implementation of management plans and law enforcement.
