Non-timber forest products (NTFPs), also known as non-wood forest products (NWFPs) and secondary forest products are useful substances obtained from forests. The key feature of NTFP’s is the continuous flow of returns against timber returns that are available intermittently at an interval of rotation period. An estimated 80% of the population of the developing world uses NWFP to meet some of their health and nutritional needs. NTFPs provide greater opportunities to the people by providing employment in the lean agriculture season. Most of the activities pertaining to NTFPs like collection, processing, transportation, marketing etc. are labour intensive and provide employment. India holds monopoly in world trade over some of the natural resins and gums such as lac, gum karaya and guar gum. Tribals derive 20-40% of their annual income from minor forest produce on which they spend major portion of their time. It has been established that a number of tribal, rural and forest department communities derive a significant part of their needs, income food and nutrition. The edible NTFPs play an important role in food & nutritional security of rural people. However, due to number of factors like destruction of natural habitat, fluctuating prices, population growth is hindering the development of NTFPs.

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and some forest tree species are an important source of livelihood to communities. Unfortunately, their potential and uses are much unknown by the population or organization responsible for conservation. It is for this reason that this study was carried out in the village of Minko’o to assess this potential, and to show their importance. A socio-economic survey was carried out in the village and GPS coordinates of the identified NTFPs and forest trees was recorded from the farms/plantations and forest visited. A total of 20 households were surveyed in order to identify the different NTFPs and their utility for the population. Our findings revealed that 50% of the harvest of NTFPs and forest species is done by picking and 45% by collection. Some NTFPs and forest products were known and used by the people. Some of these resources were not known and therefore under exploited. It is the case of Cola (Cola nitida), Soursop (Persea muricata), Akom (Terminalia superba), Mfo (Enantia Chlorantha), Kassimang (Spondias purpurea). Most of NTFPs were grown by the populations and the preferred NTFP was the avocado tree. The forest tree species are mainly used for medicinal purposes. Other trees were used for construction.

Knowledge And Practice

Documenting how socio-ecosystem conservation knowledge and practice arise and are modified are issues of ethnobiological interest. In the Barranca de Metztitlán Biosphere Reserve (RBBM), plant nurseries, some of which were created as Environmental Management Units (UMAs), have been established to grow and conserve cacti. This paper describes these nurseries, their role in cactus conservation, and the benefits and limitations for the people managing them. The nurseries have helped decrease illegal traffic in cacti and have enabled ex situ conservation of 22 cacti species. Cactus management has changed from extraction to cultivation, as a result of the knowledge and actions of multiple actors. The main limitation is marketing, a recurring problem for non-timber forest products (NTFP). Greater coordination among stakeholders is recommended, such as involvement by non-governmental organizations to improve their probability of success, as well as learning from the experience of other cactus UMAs. Improving the market for cacti is an issue that needs an immediate solution; otherwise conservation efforts could relapse.

Forest products are materials gotten from forest, for the direct consumption or commercial use such as timber and non-timber forest products. The destruction of forest in Andoni due to the exploration and consumption of forest products are done without determining the values of these products that could have been lost. This study attempts to determine the value of identified forest products information gathered through the use of questionnaire focus group discussion, field survey and other related materials. The simple percentage analysis shows that forest products have a lot of value to the people; hence community dwellers involved in it. Conclusively, forest product were identified and categorized into wildlife species (wild animal) and plant species which usefulness were been influenced by socio-external factor, economical factor and livelihood security factor. The economic value of forest product in a study area is N532,351,300.00 while the expected value is N865,648,300.00. Therefore, the government at all levels should provide indiscriminate exploitation of premature forest product policy on forest management that are appropriate. These should be made to effectively reflect and enhance forest protection and improvement of livelihood of the people.

ABSTRAK Hutan Desa Sukaraja merupakan hutan lindung yang dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat melalui pengelolaan dengan sistem agroforestri dan pemungutan hasil hutan bukan kayu untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh data mengenai jenis dan jumlah HHBK dari tanaman MPTs serta menduga potensi HHBK dari tanaman MPTs pada masa yang akan datang berdasarkan ketersediaannya di masa kini. Data dikumpulkan melalui analisis vegetasi pada 29 plot contoh yang diambil berdasarkan metode SRS (Simple Random Sampling). Untuk memprediksi penambahan jumlah MPTs 1 sampai 4 tahun yang akan datang dilakukan pengamatan pohon pada fase tiang dan pancang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat 11 jenis tanaman MPTs yang dimanfaatkan hasil hutan bukan kayunya oleh masyarakat Desa Sukaraja yaitu durian, cengkeh, pala, petai, alpukat, kemiri, mangga, nangka, jengkol, melinjo dan duku. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hingga beberapa tahun yang akan datang pohon cengkeh dan durian masih menjadi MPTs yang paling banyak dimanfaatkan dan ditanam oleh masyarakat. Sedangkan mangga dan kemiri merupakan HHBK yang produksinya akan stagnan atau bahkan mengalami penurunan dalam kurun waktu 1-4 tahun yang akan datang. Kata Kunci : HHBK, MPTs, Hutan Desa, KHP Rajabasa  ABSTRACT Sukaraja Village Forest is a protected forest that is utilized by the community through agroforestry system and collection of non-timber forest products to improved community welfare.
