Assumption: Sierra Leone National Wood Products consumption in 1997 are the same as shown below (*Conteh, 1997)
Please Note: Baseline year figures were derived from 1985 National census report published in 1995(CSO, 1995): National
Population, Vo = 3515383; Average population growth i = 0.0231 or 2.31 percent; n = 0
Forestry statistics from 1997 – 2008 were obtained using the formula-
Vn = Vo(1+i)n(where n ranges from 12 to 23) x per caput consumption of each of the following(Conteh, 1997) –
Firewood – 0.42m3/cap./annum}
Charcoal - 0.11m3/cap./annum} Aggregate per capita consumption = 0.65m3/annum
Timber - 0.12m3/cap/annum}
