Abstract:
The term ‘Non-Timber Forest Products’ (NTFPs) is applied to all the biological materials, other than timber, extracted from forests for human use. They include foods (edible plant products, forest fruits, honey, etc), medicines, spices, essential oils, resins, gums, latexes, dyes, ornamental plants, wildlife, fuel wood and raw materials, notably rattan, bamboo, small-wood and fibres. This brochure discusses NTFPs, NTFP-Exchange Programme (NTFP-EP) and what Both ENDS can offer on this subject.
