0 | Local perceptions of the different land types and resources According to the villagers biodiversity is important for their livelihoods. Table 6 shows some important products that local people still gather exclusively from the natural forest. Hundreds of other products (plant and animal) are still collected during their daily activities in the surrounding landscape. In Section 6.6, we discuss in more detail the most important products from forest. More complete, although not exhaustive, lists are also available in Annexes 1 and 2, which show the important knowledge of local people on biodiversity and the large range of uses they have for many forest products. During discussions, informants agreed to categorize the main uses of these products into 14 big categories (Table 7) adapted from the MLA method to the local context. Table 6.

Importance value (%) Biodiversity and Local Perceptions | 6.2. Land type importance The results from the scoring exercise with men and women groups show that villagers consider forest the most important land type (40% and 35%; Figure 9). Both natural and plantation forests are important to villagers because they provide many products for the local livelihoods such as latex, timber, rattan, firewood, honey, medicinal plants, bamboo, food, etc. Natural forests also have the role of protection of the village against floods and erosion. Villagers consider gardens the second most important land type, especially for those who live on the upper part of the village, because gardens provide fodder, bamboo for fences for cattle and fruits for cash income. They consider rice fields the least important because they belong to only those who live in the lower part of the village and because rice is a recently cultivated crop here that can be substituted by cassava or peanut. People who do not have rice fields buy rice from the local market at Phong My commune, not far from the village. 40 30 20 10 0 Forest Garden River Dry land for agriculture Land types Figure 9. Land type by importance (all groups) Bare hill Rice field The high importance villagers place on forest is explained by the products sold and by the contribution to the local livelihoods that forest can provide. Forest will support the villagers’ livelihoods in the future too (Table 8, page 33). Rice fields provide only few uses such as food for humans and cattle. Cattle are often let free in the rice fields once the harvest is completed. Men Women
