Non-timber forest products in Latin America: an overview
Non-timber forest products are today being viewed as legitimate sources of livelihood for local communities. By forming associations, extractivists have achieved some success in having their rights to exploit forested areas recognised and enshrined in legislation and/or receiving increased prices paid for products. The development of legal systems of non-timber forest product use has not been without problems. Communities should be involved in decision-making on the management of the forest resource.
