Forest resources and rural livelihoods: the conflict between timber and non-timber forest products in the Congo Basin
Much of the Congo Basin is managed for timber from dozens of species. More than 60% also produce non-timber products, including foods. For five multiple use tree species in Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Gabon (Entandrophragma cylindricum, Baillonella toxisperma, Erythrophleum s...

Cross-border trade and conservation in the Sangha river region (Cameroon, Central African Republic and Republic of Congo)
The potential for combining timber and non-timber forest product extraction has been examined in the context of diversified forest management. Many tropical forests are exploited both commercially for timber and by forest-dependent communities for non-timber forest products (NTFPs). Divergences b...

The impacts of selective logging on non-timber forest products of livelihood importance
Many species of timber trees in Cameroon are exploited by logging companies for timber and by forest-
dependent communities for non-timber forest products (NTFPs). Quantitative analyses were conducted
within and near forest concessions in Cameroon to determine the density of multiple use tree spe...
