Nog een goed voorbeeld van gebruik van gemeenschapsgrond: het toont aan dat privébezit (in welke vorm dan ook) zorgt voor een duidelijk beter managment. Mijn punt is dat je dat privébezit dan ook onder een vorm moet toelaten. En dat daardoor altijd sommige mensen het beter zullen hebben dan anderen.

Local communities may also regulate the use of uncultivated hillsides and wastelands. In
Eastern Tigray, for example, the leaders of one village (Echmare, in the Gulomakeda woreda)
decided to allow private tree planting on a degraded hillside beginning in 1992. Very small
plots approximately 20 square meters in size were allocated to each household in the village,
and the households were expected to plant trees and provide good management. The penalty
for not doing so was to lose access to the plot, and potentially to future plots that may be
allocated as well. In contrast to management of community woodlots, private management
has been highly intensive, with large labour investments in clearing rocks and constructing
stone bunds around the plots, and even hand irrigation of the seedlings during critical dry
periods. As a result, the survival rate of seedlings on the private plots has averaged about
80%, according to village residents, compared to as low as 10% in community woodlots. The
village has continued to allocate parts of the unused hillside almost every year since 1992.
Households are now beginning to harvest the mature eucalyptus trees planted in the first
years, which are worth about EB 30 to 50 ($5 to $8) per tree. Visual observations suggest
that each household has about 20 trees surviving per plot allocated, representing a substantial
increment to household income and wealth. The success of this experience has led the
regional government to adopt a new directive allowing all tabias to allocate unused hillside
wastelands for permitted uses, included tree planting, forage production, horticulture, and bee
keeping. However, despite the success of the Echmare experience and the new directive, it
appears that other tabias are not yet adopting this approach, in part because the TBANR
prefers to implement the approach cautiously, by first testing it in several pilot study
communities.
