    Despite widespread acknowledgment of the importance of forests to sustainable development, tackling deforestation remains a herculean task. Local participation has been suggested to guarantee success in the conservation of forests and associated biodiversity. However, awareness and knowledge level of residents of forest- dependent communities on the subject is essential to their meaningful participation in forestry development in Nigeria. This chapter reports the knowledge of, attitude to and perception on forest conservation among residents of Olorunsogo LGA, Oyo State, Nigeria. Multistage stratified randomly sampling technique was used to collect primary data from 211 residents through the use of structured questionnaire. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential (Chi square and Logit analysis) test statistics at α0.05. Awareness of residents about the impact of forests on the environment was high and their perception of forest conservation was guided by their knowledge of it. The latter was however low. Also, planting of trees among respondents is not dependent on their demographic background but their involvement in conservation practices is a function of their gender, educational background and marital status. Respondents’ interest in conservation will improve, if their knowledge base on the subject is built. Keywords: Forest communities, Perception of conservation, Attitude to forests ID: 3486851

    No results found.

    The use of antibiotics in livestock production is considered a major driver of antibiotic resistance on a global scale. In Vietnam, small- and medium-scale livestock producers dominate the domestic market and regulatory pushes have done little to decrease antibiotic use. In order to inform future policy directions, this study aims to explore knowledge, attitudes, and practices amongst livestock producers to identify their perspectives on antibiotic use and resistance.
