ABSTRACT
The reported declines in populations of several native species have biological, cultural and economic implications as cattle and illegal logging. To understand factors supporting endangered species conservation and management in Benin, we focused on plantations of dry zone Mahogany (Khaya senegalensis (Desr.) A.Juss.) in sudano-guinean zone of Benin. This study illustrates how the dry zone mahogany is established in plantations in Benin. It discusses the challenges for its appropriate conservation and management in Benin.
