The forest is one of the most vital resources for people living in the countryside in Mozambique. constitute a source wood fuel for own consumption and for sale, animal and vegetable proteins, medicines, building materials for homes. On the other hand, the forest, after the industrial revolution, to be a direct source of raw materials for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, in civil construction, and also, it became stage of leisure and recreation. However, with the urbanization process that has negative consequences for forest, and its growing quest to sustain the tourist industry, this resource is becoming scarce. So in this present monograph, the focus of analysis is given to the implications of commercial uses of the forest (ecosystem services of the forest) in the development of tourism in the community of Guinjata-District of Jangamo. For this purpose, the mapping of forest ecosystems in the district and the respective goods and services. Also, we evaluated the opinion on the most recognized impacts for the enjoyment of ecosystem goods and services for tourism. THE The method used consisted of applying the rapid participatory diagnosis tool (DRP), semi-structured interviews, systematic observation and bibliographical research. Research results indicate that forests play an important role at the socioeconomic level for the local population by providing goods which are used for food and trade. Socially, it is considered a space where social relationships between community members (cultural values). Regarding the commercial uses of the forest with implications for the development of tourism in the community, disordered urbanization and agriculture. These uses are said to generate pressure on the forest. The negative impacts, deforestation, which which, in turn, alters the landscape, are compounded by the difficulty of government bodies at the local level to deal with the management of natural resources. Therefore, with the aesthetic and/or landscaping alteration, there may be a limitation of spaces for tourist use. However, it is recommended to repopulate forests, raise awareness and public awareness of the need for protection. (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
