The purpose of this study is to get the perspectives of the local communities on the extent of woody vegetation changes in semi-arid area of Katsina state, northern Nigeria. Participatory Rural praisal, Focus Group Discussion and Interview were used in the data collection. It was found that large percentages of the dominant woody species in the area are declining or completely disappeared. Only two exotic species and very few indigenous species were reported to be increasing. It is suggested that conservation effort should not be restricted only to the threaten species, the entire study area should be considered for immediate intervention.
