Hectares of forest land have been laid bare in Aba idiogun and Enioosa communities by heavy felling/logging of trees Overgrazing and the activities of loggers and timber merchants have become a bane, In addition, From the FGD conducted with sample ( ... )
munity members, households depend solely on wood as a source of fuel for their daily cooking; this is used in traditional three-stone fires. These fires burn wood inefficiently as most of the heat is lost to the atmosphere. CO2 emission from household cooking activities and some of the big industries causing air pollution has posed serious health issues to the population. Estimates indicate that
