This chapter reports on a range of research conducted in CIFOR's research area in Malinau, East Kalimantan. A major emphasis of this work was to begin to document the biological wealth of this area. The main task had three major aspects: 1) finding out what occurs where, 2) assessing to whom it m...

This account summarises studies based on tree data from plots established during the 1930s and 1940s in Budongo, a Ugandan rain forest. The original interpretations of forest change provoked controversies that continue to the present day. Analyses have yielded three categories of results: the fir...

Many trees are important to local communities for health, income, nutrition, and construction purposes, and to timber companies for their wood. Timber production and exports have increased in Central Africa over the last decade. Furthermore, the number of species exploited for timber purposes hav...

A study was conducted on forest rehabilitation based on indigenous species at the Universiti Putra Malaysia, Bintulu, Sarawak. Areas of open abandoned shifting cultivation, man-made mounds, Macaranga secondary forest and shrubby undergrowth were used for trial planting with different types of pla...

Given the importance of non-timber forest resources to subsistence livelihoods, the increased rate of logging in Amazonia, and the pronounced overlap of timber and non-timber species, it is important to evaluate the altered composition and abundance of NTFPs. In this changing landscape, it is vit...

Species profiles were gathered from non-timber forest product (NTFP) researchers around the globe. While not exhaustive, the profiles, taken as a whole, provide a glimpse into the diverse, complex and idiosyncratic universe that is encompassed by the term ‘NTFP’. The profiles vary widely in conte...


Shanley, P.Pierce, A.R.Laird, S.A.Guillen, A.[Introduction: section 2: NTFPs and certification]Introduction: section 2: NTFPs and certification

The study of plant communities requires a basic understanding of the abundance, distribution, and number of species present. Yet, in obtaining this information, scientists can rarely sample the entire community or area of interest. In practice, data from numerous small sub-samples provide a basis...
