Forests are a large reservoir of biodiversity on which riparian populations frequently rely. Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) an important source income for millions people living in forest-adjacent communities. This study aims at characterizing the types and uses NTFPs order to determine whether their exploitation eastern Democratic Republic Congo is sustainable. Interviews direct observation were carried out with NTFP stakeholders (harvesters, sellers, consumers) Kalonge, near Kahuzi-Biega National Park. The results showed that 40 plant origin 10 animal commonly exploited used food traditional medicine. most common harvesting techniques debarking, picking, digging up, felling, wine extraction, all tailored part. A significant relationship (p-value< 0.001) has been established between methods as well organs retrieved. mainly obtained from natural KBNP but also woodland, trees grown outside or through domestication.

All biological products obtained from forests other than timber are considered non-timber forest (NTFPs). NTFPs production levels in Ghana affected by climate change. Over the past years, have adversely prolonged droughts and short rainfall Ghana. In rural areas, where NTFP enhance livelihoods for dwellers, this affects their food security. This study aimed to determine how dwellers perceive impact of annual variability temperature on products. To better understand residents change's effect NTFPs, 732 were interviewed. Household information perceptions regarding changes availability (snails, mushrooms, honey, etc.) recorded using structured semi-structured questionnaires. As a result sharp rise decline rainfall, combined with drought, there has been NTFPS areas country. The respondents reported snails, as well income generated. It is imperative that government, through forestry commission, educate about importance sustainable use implement afforestation programs help regenerate degraded threaten some organisms required NTFPs.

In developing countries, studies on sustainable preservation of forests (including non-timber forest products NTFPs) have been poorly carried out for promoting alternative income generating activities (IGA) to alleviate pressure praised resources by local communities living close protected areas. This study aimed at (1) inventorying NTFPs exploited around the Kahuzi Biega National Park (KBNP), (2) assessing their therapeutic values and nutritional contributions, (3) analyzing rural urban market determine potential as sources well major constraints in exploitation. Individual interviews were conducted with 790 households Kabare, Walungu, Kalehe, Bukavu City, eastern Democratic Republic Congo (DRC) coupled focus group discussions key stakeholders KBNP.

Considering the notion that “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets”, effective exploitation of economic value forest resources is an important research topic, especially in forest-rich areas. The development non-timber products (NTFPs) industry has promoted both ecological benefits effectively improved farmers’ incomes while protecting resources. In order to evaluate effects NTFPs on sustaining livelihoods environments, we constructed a performance evaluation index system determine poverty alleviation Yunnan Province using analytic hierarchy process (AHP), which covered three aspects: achievement alleviation, sustainability satisfaction with alleviation. Then, selected Sanhe Village Nujiang Prefecture, Province, as example verify rationalize comprehensively industry. Based data from questionnaires field interviews, found following: (1) overall was 79.33, indicated effect good; (2) scores for were 50.56, 18.57 10.2, respectively; (3) there some problems industry, such limited capital investments, weak roles cooperatives enterprises, low enthusiasm lower-income households incomplete projects.

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are used by billions of rural and urban people globally. Income shares from NTFPs generally highest among poor communities households, consequently, their use has at times been described as a poverty trap. However, there only handful works that have directly examined the existence traps in relation to NTFPs, none concluded existed specific contexts. Consequently, this paper, we (i) basis for argument NTFP reliance does engender traps, (ii) present reasoned case why on is unlikely result most We end with call more comprehensive research into contexts which might, or do, emanating until such forthcoming, some circumspection linking two.

Agroforestry, which integrates trees and shrubs into agricultural systems, presents significant environmental economic advantages. This chapter explores its current state future in temperate boreal regions, each with unique climates challenges. In areas, practices like alley cropping, silvopasture, windbreaks enhance soil health, reduce erosion, boost biodiversity, while also providing ecological services such as carbon sequestration wildlife habitats. Boreal agroforestry adapts to harsh shelterbelts reforestation, focusing on cold-resistant species improve fertility manage snow cover. Challenges include high initial investment maintenance costs limited options due extreme cold areas. Ongoing research technological advancements promise address these challenges, innovations selection policy support expected the sustainability productivity of benefiting both conservation agriculture.

Abstract This chapter examines the concept of forest connectivity in a globalized world, emphasizing its significance for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functioning as well human–environment relationships. From an ecological perspective, encompasses both structural functional aspects extends beyond habitat quantity continuity. Structural focuses on physical arrangement landscape elements, while emphasizes role different species promoting enhancing resilience. But relationships also include broader social-ecological context multifunctional analysis that impact human activities can be significant disturbances shaping future resources. Conserving services requires understanding interactions between social systems. The Nature’s Contribution to People framework recognizes societies, cultural beliefs, practices their relationship with nature. Ecosystem are explored along provision interactions, identifying synergies trade-offs. analyses terms simultaneously attempting broaden meaning socio-cultural well. integrated approach acknowledges well-being people health ecosystems intricately connected, must considered decision-making processes.
