Abstract
This study was undertaken in Paulshoek, a rural village in Namaqualand, to identify how important natural fuelwood resources are for the daily survival of the inhabitants. Household interviews, household surveys and PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) exercises were used to identify the plant species used, the purpose of use and quantities used per household on a daily and annual basis. Twelve species were identified as important and most frequently used fuelwood species.
