英文摘要	Fuel wood extraction and its implication for the environment and development have been on increase worldwide. It is a known fact that the utilization of fuel wood in Nigeria contributes greatly to desertification, deforestation and consequently has implications with regard to climate change. Very little is however known on the situation in Gombe State, more especially the extent of the impact. This study focuses on the assessment of socio-economic and environmental impacts of fuel wood exploitation in Gombe state. This was achieved through examining the patterns, levels and temporal variation of fuel wood supply between seasons; the empirical estimate of daily harvest and supply of fuel wood to various parts of the country from the sources in Gombe state, Nigeria. Two forest reserves were selected and five sites and communities in each of them were picked based on a checklist. Determinants of fuel wood such as quantity of fuel wood per kilogram per week were observed. Interview, focus group discussions (FGD) and questionnaire surveys were used to generate data from the respondents on the impacts of the exploitation on the socio-economy settings of the source areas. The environmental impact was assessed by conducting time-series analyses of satellite imageries such as LANDSATS over a period often years (2016-2017). The results show that the there are more negative impacts and the destruction was caused more by land clearing for agricultural production. Recommendations were made at the end of the study, based on the findings.
