that the young members are more likely to participate in the community
forest program. Household size is positive and significant at 5%, suggesting
that large households participate in forest activities and vice versa.
This could be because of low opportunity costs of household members
that may allow them to participate in community forestmanagement activities.
Gender was included as a dummy variable i.e. 1 for amale and 0
for a female, and the gender coefficient is positive and significant at the
5% level of significance, hence indicating a higher participation of males
compared to females in community forest management activities. The
livestock ownership coefficient is positive and highly significant at the
1% level of significance, meaning that rich households are more likely
to participate in community forest management than their poorer
counterparts.
