Contribution of Environmental Products to the Household Economy in Cameroon: Essential, Complementary or Trivial?
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Tropical forests have been recognized to play a multi-functional role by providing both goods (timber, food, medicine, etc.) and services, including recreational and spiritual benefits and climate regulation, making human life better [1,2]. The international debate has paid high attention to the potential of NTFPs in supporting livelihoods and forest conservation. The article by Peters et al. [3], assessing the economic value of these products in an Amazonian rain forest, and the FAO report [4] underlining the importance of minor forest products initiated numerous studies analyzing the contribution of these products to self-consumption and medication, income generation and numerous other uses over the last two decades.
