Non Timber Forest Products

The state Jharkhand is one of the Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) rich states of the country because of diverse physiographic and climatic conditions. It is known for its mineral wealth, tribal population and forests. NTFPs play an important role in supporting rural livelihoods and food security in tribal Jharkhand. The present study was carried out in three distinct villages of Jharkhand to explore the range of livelihood contributions of NTFPs. The study was based on empirical fieldwork using both quantitative and qualitative data. A structured interview schedule was managed for the respondents. Comparing income sources, we found that most of the households collect NTFPs and earn a handsome amount of income from NTFPs ranges from 33% to 59%. We also prioritized potential NTFPs along with their basic value chain.

Tejpat (Cinnamomum tamala) leaf is commercially one of the important non-timber forest products of Nepal. This paper attempts to elaborate and analyze the harvesting methods and techniques of Tejpat grown by the farmers in their private land. The study was conducted in the villages of Udayapur district where Tejpat was widely cultivated and harvested for income generation and trading purposes. Almost all farmers with private land had planted Tejpat. Complete lopping of leaves once a year was the exclusive practice for harvesting. The collection period for leaf was from Ashoj (October) to Magh (February) but the period for bark varied greatly, i.e. from Kartik to Poush (November to January) and Baisakh / Jestha (May / June). Bark collection was done only from old, dying, diseased and low leaf producing trees. Average number of trees per household ranged from 10 to 155. The mean diameter at breast height (DBH) of the trees was 39.58 cm. There was high positive correlation between the DBH and fresh weight of leaf. Fitting of linear regression of fresh weight of leaf with DBH proved that the relationship was statistically significant at 5% level of significance. The minimum age and size of trees for leaf harvesting were found to be five years and 16.18 cm, respectively.

Abstract. Alandra Y. Amelia FUD, Iskandar J. 2018. The traditional Rimbo Larangan system of forest management: An ethnoecological case study in Nagari Paru, Sijujung District, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Asian J Ethnobiol 1: 61-68. The community of Nagari Paru, Sijunjung District, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia has a traditional forest conservation system locally known as Rimbo Larangan which is based on the Local Knowledge (LK) or the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) - strongly embedded in the local culture.. Although the Rimbo Larangan has nearly disappeared in many villages (nagari) of West Sumatra, particularly of the Minangkabau ethnic, this traditional forest conservation system in Nagari Paru has been properly maintained. The aim of this study was to document the ecological history, the characteristics of the involved local institutions and the management system of the Rimbo Larangan based on a case study in Nagari Paru, Sijunjung district, West Sumatra Province. Method used in this study was qualitative with the ethnoecological approach. The results of the study showed that the ecological story of Rimbo Larangan has been established since a long time, in parallel with initial construction of agricultural and settlement areas in the forest. The institution of Rimbo Larangan, as a distinctive model, was initially organized by the original initiatives of informal leaders which were later joined and supported by the local government. Based on the Rimbo Larangan system, various non-timber forest products of Nagari Paru has been sustainably utilized by the local community. In addition, the forest has provided ecological services over time for the local community.
