| Objective: |
| The aim of this
research project is formulate concrete recommendations for the
integration of NTFP-resources management in sustainable forest
management strategies in order to assure the needs of the local
population and to determine opportunities to raise the income
from sustainable extraction |
| Output: |
|
The harvesting practices, processing, commercialisation and
uses of NTFP species and its actors were analysed.The distribution
of NTFP species in the forests and human influences (agriculture
including shifting cultivation, logging, harvesting of NTFPs)

have been formulated. One Cameroon researchers was trained
to PhD level. Several publications were made available (see
