NTFPs can be of particular importance to people in forested mountain locations, because of their relative lack of access to alternative inputs and sources of income. Mountain forest uses centred on NTFPs can show a clearer link between conservation and development potentials due to the reduced op...
Resin producing agroforestry in the Krui area of Sumatra in Indonesia is presented as an environmentally friendly, income generating land-use system which contributes to both development and conservation objectives. We studied the change in household income portfolios in three communities in the ...
