Frankincense (Boswellia carterii, B. frereana) resin harvesting has a deep historical and cultural heritage in Somaliland, providing economic benefits for centuries. Today the resins are highly relevant in the global economy, with applications in cosmetics, aromatherapy, and emerging medical and therapeutic applications. Thus, the
frankincense forests are key cultural and economic elements in Somaliland. However, our recent research is indicating that the demand for frankincense resin internationally is outpacing the supply. Sixyears ago there was a small market for these Somali resins now there is a booming market and a rise in the selling price. Harvesters are
drastically over harvesting trees in an effort to gain economically and meet exporters demand, causing the trees to die rapidly. This situation overall indicates the beginning of a serious and highly damaging resource conflict, and the impending collapse of thefrankincense forests.”

Soo ifbixii Islaamka ee qarnigii 7aad iyo aasaasiddii imbraadoriyaddii Islaamka ayaa soo shaacbixisey muddo lix qarni ah hormur ku socda xawli aan hore loo arag, oo taabanaya dhinacyo badan oo aqoonta ah. Kolkii ay Yurub ku jirtey wixi loo yaqaannay xilligii mugdiga, ayaa aasaaska xaddaaradda adduunku ka dhismaysay xarumo cilmiga ee adduunka muslimka ah, sida Baqdaad, Dimishiq, Qaahira, Kordova, Baleermo iyo kuwa kale.

Taasi waa sheekada werinaysa casrigii dahabiga ahaa ee ilbaxnimada Islaamka ee sida qotoda dheer u beddeshay wejigii adduunka.

Intaas iyo in kabadanba waa hubaal inaad waxbadan korodhsan doonto hooska daawo mawduucaasi oo dhamaystiran
