Abstract
Traditional Land Use systems play a key role in environmental degradation. Cultural practices involving agriculture, fuel wood supply and health care delivery thrive under the law of capture. They lack sustainable production and exploitation process due to constraints posed by land and tree tenure, population increase and the importance of living biotic resources in the market economy. The solution for a stable environment under the multiple land use systems in natural ecosystems is not in sight. However, rural land use practices should emphasize among others public education and conservative principles.

They lack sustainable production and exploitation process due to constraints posed by land and tree tenure, population increase and the importance of living biotic resources in the market economy. The solution for a stable environment under the multiple land use systems in natural ecosystems is not in sight.
