In recognition of the importance of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) in both social and forest resource management terms, one of CIFOR's major projects is on "Sustainable Use and Development of Non-Timber Forest Products ". The project is aiming at a world level comparison of NTFPs-based forest...

Remote sensing and statistical data analysis as tools to understand forest livelihood strategies
Tropical forests have been perceived as biodiversity sanctuaries that should be preserved from human action. However, rural communities have lived in these forests over millennia using their biodiversity to satisfy a wide range of needs (timber, food, medicinal plants, etc.), without threatening ...

Sistemas tradicionales de gestión del bosque tropical en Indonesia: ecología y prácticas silviculturales
In recent years, research on tropical forest conservation has increasingly focused on traditional management systems as a means of achieving a balance between conservation and development. Styrax paralleloneurun, a forest-canopy tree species that produces benzoin, an aromatic resin, is cultivated...

Benzoin gardens in North Sumatra, Indonesia: effects of management on tree diversity
Sumatran benzoin is a resin produced by Styrax trees, managed in forest gardens in the highlands of North Sumatra. The resin is used in incense, perfume and pharmaceutical preparations and as a flafouring agent. Trade with foreign countries has existed for over a millennium, first with China and ...

Benzoin, a resin produced by Styrax trees in North Sumatra Province, Indonesia
Given the catastrophic decline in forest cover, the question of how to maintain forest biodiversity in managed “forest-like” land-use systems becomes a crucial question. This study focuses on the changes over time in forest structure and composition in two agroforestry systems subjected to contin...

Forest recovery in managed agroforestry systems: the case of benzoin and rattan gardens in Indonesia
Tropical forests could satisfy multiple demands for goods and services both for present and future generations. Yet integrated approaches to natural forest management remain elusive across the tropics. In this paper we examine one combination of uses: selective harvesting of timber and non-timber...
