This study is based on the mapping and analysis of the forest condition in different forest tenure regimes and is expected to benefit everyone who is interested in forest tenure regimes and their effect to environment. This study applied GIS and Remote Sensing as the major tools for the analysis. The study revealed that forests have improved in all tenure regimes. Community forestry did the best by increasing the new forest area by almost 33% and improving existing forest quality by 20%. In comparison, the government managed forest regime increased the new forest area by 17% and improved the quality of forest by 15%.
