Non-timber Forest Products Enterprise Development

More about the book

Sustainably managing non-timber forest products (NTFPs) requires a comprehensive monitoring program to assess natural resource health. This involves identifying and mapping various ecosystems, estimating resource supply volumes, and recognizing potential threats to these resources. Additionally, engaging with local resource collectors and conducting user surveys over the past few years are crucial for understanding harvesting practices. Proactive management strategies, including harvesting, replanting, and tree succession plans, are essential for the commercialization of natural products.
