摘要：

Surveys of pole cutting in the Kimboza, Pande and Pugu Forest Reserves revealed intensities reaching 50% of available poles in easily accessible areas. Pockets of severe pole destruction were associated with pit sawing practices. No conclusive evidence of species selection was found, but emergent, canopy and smaller tree species were all affected. The implications of the findings for the survival of isolated forest fragments in Tanzania''s coastal belt are discussed and suggestions are made of measures to ease cutting pressure.
