Abstract
A forest management plan is a document that guides management of a formally managed forest.
The general description is a component of a forest management plan, which describes the target
forest and the focal landscape in socioeconomic and ecological terms. This paper gives a general
description as part of a forest management plan for implementation of a pilot REDD+ project for
Masito Community Forest Reserve, Kigoma, Tanzania for 2012-2017. The methodology used to
obtain the data and information for the description was literature review. The general description is
given under six main sections, namely: (1) legal status, ownership and administration; (2) location,
size and boundaries; (3) physical features; (4) biological aspects; (5) buffer zones and corridors,
and; (6) socio-economic aspects of adjacent communities. The forest was not yet gazetted. The
vegetation type was predominantly miombo woodlands. The main land use of the forest adjacent
communities was agriculture. The general description formed the basis for development of the other
components of the management plan.
