FOREST The forest is one of the most important resource in the District.
This is because its home for wild animals like lion,elephants,giraffe ,cheetah,gazelle,zebras,buffalo,rhino and many others that we can not cover in this page. The forest also attracts rain and its also home for pastoralism as they use the shade of the trees or even use to make houses as source of shelter. Forest is also used by domestic life stock such as the cattle,goats and sheep to go to the grazing field in the forest in order to get pasture and grass.
The name forest is widely known in the region as “Duur”, “Adabla” and “Raamad” however the forest is also source of food as The normadic people gather wildfruits. There are different trees which gave out different fruits the most common ones are Garas Tree. There are two types of Garas tree,these are Garas weyne and Garas wiila. Its avery big tree which gave out green unribe garas fruit and when it becomes ripe, the fruit is reedish oval shape. Its peeled by removing orange cover and the red flesh which taste sweet is eaten out and the white seed is thrown . The white seed is called? Jala and some people gather and cooks like maiz.
The other two commonly type is called? Kamuthe and sholole fruits. These are types normally found in the Raamad near the hulugho baldoos and some other parts of the region. In the sholole fruit the fluids inside is sucked with little brown tiny seeds and the rough cover is thrown. With the kamuthe, the outer part of the fruit is eaten and the inner seed is thrown, these two always grow in the same area. The other type is also Mandaru. This is along tree with a big riped and red fruit which is just like the orange fruit. It taste salty. The other common fruit is Bukee which grows in four. The inner soft seeds which is sometimes white or black is eaten .
We also have some fruits which grow underground. These are Buleesa and Tuqaa. Bulesa fruit is just like Yams or the potatoes. The grey cover is peeled and the white watery and sugarly flesh is eaten as it also removes thirst. For tuqa which other none-ijarans called it “Daba'ase” its along red carot-like fruit in which half of it grows underground while the other half grow upper round. Normally as you walk around the bush you will will see the first half part of the red fruit appearing at the crack of the soil.
There is a tree called? Golol tree. This is a tree in which the stem is peeled and crushed. Its used as tea leaves to cook with tea.its commonly used by nomandic when there is a lot of rains that blocked the poor road and the sugar or tea-leaves are not found. We have kurow and Adaad tree which produces bullgum. Kurow is asoft tree where by the bees make honey. Inorder to harvest honey we first light fire so that the bees run away from the smoke to avoid being stung and then you cut the whole soft stem and you will find a pile of stocks of beeswax honey. The pile is called Kabar.The boni people are main known for harvesting honey and hunting of the wild life.
There are many other types of wild fruits in which we can not cover in this page however all these we mentioned above are enough examples to show that the region is rich in natural resources
