The production of the 2016 forest statistics yearbook is part of the sustainability of post-project achievements, in order to ensure continuity in the dissemination of information on forest and wildlife resources in Benin. Thus, the various works to develop the third edition of this directory were carried out with the financial and technical support of the Programme de Gestion des Forêts et Terroirs Riverain Additional Phase (PGFTR-FA), an institutional support program for the DGEFC. The 2015-2016 yearbook is structured in five (05) parts. The first part presents the administrative organization of the forest sub-sector. The second part brings together statistics on forest cover, wood potential and the exploitation of forest products. The third part presents the indicators relating to the management of wildlife and protected areas. Information on the management of wildfires is presented in the fourth part. Finally, the fifth part is devoted to forest recipes.
