Distribution, Utilization, and Sustainability of Non-Timber Forest Products from Takamanda Forest Reserve, Cameroon Terry C.H. Sunderland, Simon Besong, and Julius S.O. Ayeni 1 Introduction Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are materials derived from forests—excluding timber but including “bark, roots, tubers, corms, leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits, sap, resins, honey, fungi, and animal products” (Clark and Sunderland in press). NTFPs are collected from a wide range of ecotypes such as high forest, farm fallow, otherwise disturbed forest, and farmland (Peters 1996) for use as food, medicine, and barter. In some cases, they are the only means for residents of remote forests to participate in the cash economy (Arnold and Ruiz-Perez 1996). People throughout the tropics rely on the harvest and sale of NTFPs for their economic well being. It is only relatively recently that non-timber forest products have become the focus of research and development initiatives (Neumann and Hirsch 2000), primarily to ensure sustainable use of forest resources to meet human needs while conserving the natural systems that produce the goods (Wilkie 1999). This paradigm shift reflects the important role of NTFPs in conservation and community development initiatives through both product promotion and coherent strategies for sustainable use (Wollenberg and Ingles 1999, Neumann and Hirsch 2000). The framework for sustainable use of NTFPs must include adequate baseline knowledge of the species concerned, an understanding of the marketing systems in which these products are traded, and appropriate legislation (Cunningham 1999). Such a framework can serve as the mechanism for equitable distribution of benefits, community participation in resource management, and generation of revenues from nontimber forest products (Neumann and Hirsch 2000). 2 Importance of NTFPs in Takamanda Forest Reserve Chapter 11 In common with many areas in the tropics and elsewhere in West and Central Africa, the inhabitants of Takamanda Forest Reserve (TFR) and its environs depend heavily on exploitation of forest resources (Groves and Maisels 1999, Ayeni and Mdaihli 2001, Schmidt-Soltau 2001, Zapfack et al. 2001). In particular, NTFPs help to stabilize incomes because they can be harvested when demand for farm labor is low but when NTFP production is at its peak (Schmidt-Soltau 2001). It is estimated that 70% of the total population in the larger study area collects forest products for consumption and sale, representing an estimated income of 500 million CFA (about $850,000) a year (Ayeni and Mdaihli 2001), or a mean of 190,000 CFA (about $320) per household— 39% of total household income (Schmidt-Soltau 2001). Recent findings also estimate that the majority (68%) of harvested NTFPs are sold in home communities, 19% are transported for sale in Nigeria, and 13% are traded in local Cameroon markets (Schmidt-Soltau 2001, Sunderland 2001). In Takamanda, bush mango and eru combined contribute to 82.2% of household income (Table 1) and are by far the most valuable products to the communities within the Reserve. The retail value per unit of other products such as the Carpolobia cattle stick and Randia chewing stick is relatively high, but most local communities realize very little from the harvest and sale of these products, an inequity that is a key component in the management of NTFPs in TFR as discussed in more detail below.
