ABSTRACT
Forest‑based nontimber product NTFPs are a broad categor of economic or subsistence items derived from forests but not including timber. They could also be thought of as broadly speaking biological resource‑derived products. Forest products other than wood NTFPs include a variety of plant and animal items that are gathered from forests, savannahs, and other types of natural vegetation. Canoes, wood carving, local house
construction, fencing supplies, and firewood are all mentioned in this description, but industrial lumber is not included.
