Relevant information

The logging subsector and forestry contribute only a marginal share of GDP (Table 1.1). Mali has about 100 million hectares of forest nationwide. Listed forests, with an area of 5.2 million hectares, represent only 4.2% of the national territory, when the accepted international standard is 15%. Forest cover is suffering from the ongoing deterioration of natural resources in general and of forestry resources in particular, on account of climate vulnerability and human activity. Law No. 10/028 of 12 July 2010 governs the management of forestry resources in Mali, and responsibility for administering the Law lies with the National Directorate of Water Resources and Forests. The main restrictions are associated with the CITES provisions.
