Forests, the Non-wood Resources by A. P. Dwivedi Pdf

The non- wood forest products are of immense importance of the mankind. With industrialisation and urbanisation, timber and firewood can be substituted by other materials but there are still a large number of non-wood forest products for which no synthetic substitutes are available. There is an environmental and ecological angle associated with the harvesting of wood products. There are much less environmental issues associated with the harvesting of non-wood forest products. The non-wood forest products provide considerable employment and income to the rural poor and particularly to tribals. A large number of produce are exported outside and earn valuable foreign exchange. This book Forests: the non-wood resources deals with various kinds of non-wood forest products and their management. The dependence of tribals on non-wood forest products and the role of forest on their socio-economic fabric is also highlighted.

Non-Wood Forest Products of Asia by A. Z. M. Manzoor Rashid,Niaz Ahmed Khan,Mahmood Hossain Pdf

This book highlights the importance of non-wood forest products (NWFPs) and their crucial role in sustaining the livelihood of rural and indigenous communities in Asia. The authors depict how the preservation of forests and the associated major non-wood resources may provide an important avenue to reduce poverty. The local practices and knowledge on harvesting NWFPs are often rooted in tradition, and vary from one region to the other. This made it difficult to develop and establish research focus on a greater scale in the past. Readers of this volume will gain an often-missed, broader perspective from these new studies. The authors put a special emphasis on the nexus between conservation and livelihood from an Asian point of view. This addresses a knowledge gap in the current literature and offers important clues on conducting similar research around the world. The volume provides a useful reference guide for the relevant researchers, practitioners and policy makers.

Non-timber Forest Products in Ontario by Gina H. Mohammed,Ontario Forest Research Institute Pdf

This report reviews commercial and non-commercial non-timber forest products in Ontario, beginning with an introduction discussing the kinds of such products and their importance. Non-timber products are reviewed in the following categories: food products such as maple products, berries, honey, mushrooms, nuts, and wild rice; herbal & personal care products such as medicinal plants; materials & manufacturing products, including specialty wood products and essential oils; environmental products such as fuel wood, biological pesticides, and recycled wood waste; landscape & garden products such as landscape plans, mulches, and soil amendments; and decorative & aesthetic products such as Christmas trees, floral & foliage products, cones, and Native crafts. Issues associated with the development of non-timber forest products are then discussed, including sustainability, health & safety, and economic viability. Finally, recommendations are made that may help to advance the non-timber forest sector in Ontario.

Ecological Sustainability for Non-timber Forest Products by Charlie M. Shackleton,Ashok K. Pandey,Tamara Ticktin Pdf

There is growing knowledge about and appreciation of the importance of Non-timber Forest Products (NTFPs) to rural livelihoods in developing countries, and to a lesser extent, developed countries. However, there is also an assumption on the part of policy-makers that any harvesting of wild animal or plant products from the forests and other natural and modified ecosystems must be detrimental to the long-term viability of target populations and species. This book challenges this idea and shows that while examples of such negative impacts certainly exist, there are also many examples of sustainable harvesting systems for NTFPs. The chapters review and present coherent and scientifically sound information and case studies on the ecologically sustainable use of NTFPs. They also outline a general interdisciplinary approach for assessing the sustainability of NTFP harvesting systems at different scales. A wide range of case studies is included from Africa, Asia and South America, using plant and animal products for food, crafts, textiles, medicines and cosmetics.

Non-wood Forest Products from Temperate Broad-leaved Trees by William M. Ciesla,Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Pdf

Temperate broadleaved trees grow in very different ecosystems in the northern and southern hemispheres, but are also found extensively in many tropical and subtropical mountain areas. A wide range of non-wood products are derived from temperate broadleaved trees, and their description is organized in this volume according to the part of the tree from which they are obtained (whole tree, foliage, flowers, etc.). This information is presented in order to raise awareness on, and assist in identifying, opportunities for the management and production of non-wood products from temperate broadleaved trees. The intended audience of this publication ranges from interest groups in the forest, agriculture and rural development sectors to conservation agencies in developed and developing countries.
