摘要

The livelihoods of millions of farmers, fishermen and tribal communities in the developing countries are closely knit with the biodiversity components within their proximity. The human race has been dependent on plants for their survival, material and emotional needs since its evolution. Biodiversity has provided many valuable genes in the development of crop plants that are extensively cultivated today. Medicinal properties of plants have been recognized and exploited for thousands of years. New chemicals are continuously being discovered and extracted from plants for combating many human ailments. The very existence of cultural diversity is directly dependent on biological diversity; erosion of either of these would greatly affect humankind. The traditional way of living, followed by tribal communities using biodegradable components, when replaced by the ideas of policy-makers without consulting or taking tribal communities into confidence, has resulted in disinterest of the younger generation. This had, in many instances, led to the disappearing of much traditional knowledge vital to tribal livelihoods. NTFP resources, traditionally a source of income to the rural and tribal communities in developing countries are fast dwindling because of the increased dependency by local communities and over-harvesting by commercial agencies. There is also a threat of overexploitation of seed material of a few species of NTFPs, which may lead to the eventual extinction of such species. To gain acceptance and enhance effectiveness, policy guidelines on micro-level management addressing the above issues should be developed in consultation with local communities and should be included in the work plans of respective forest divisions.
