Effectiveness of the available environmental programmes Findings showed that the available environmental management programmes had been effective at different levels. About 28.3% of the respondents believed that the available environmental management programmes had led to an increase in tree planting activities, 22%, believed that awareness towards environment management had led to decrease in forest fires. The decrease in forest burning activities was
impact of climate change and controlling unsustainable use of natural resources. About 17.9% of these environmental management activities were in the form of fire burning control. 17% on tree planting activities and 20.8% on tree planting, water sources management and bush burning control. About 17.9% of the respondents were not aware of any environmental management programme, activity or campaign at the study area (Figure 4).
