M/s Bishen Singh Mahendra Pal Singh Non Timber Forest Products Conservation Utilisation and Management by Dhiman K R
Non timber forest products are critical to rural subsistence livelihoods and make up significant local, regional, national and international markets. They provide communities with key substance resources and with a valuable means of generating cash income. NTFPs have long been invisible to or undervalued in the past by many policy makers, NGOs and scientific researchers. As a result, the economic significance of NTFPs is poorly documented and relatively little information exists concerning the conservation, utilization and management of even the most widely utilized species.
