“…The finding indicates that middle aged persons were responsible for the collection of forest products to meet their family needs. [11] in a similar study found mean age of 41.5 years for collectors of forest resources in Nepal. This finding also corroborates the assertions by [32]; [23] and [25] that forest resources are collected by middle aged people.…”

The study was conducted to assess the contribution of Odoba forest reserve to rural livelihoods of the communities in Ogbadibo Local Government Area of Benue State, Nigeria. Pre-tested semi-structured questionnaires were administered to three hundred and seventy-six respondents in 188 households in four communities. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Fifteen different wood and non-wood products were collected by the respondents from the forest reserve with fuel wood products being the product mostly collected from the reserve (65.5%) followed by water supply from the streams in the forest reserve (59%). Others were edible vegetable (56.6%), folder (53.6%), mush room (53.3%), medicinal herbs (52.6%) and timber (50.3%), Bush Meat (46.7%), Chewing stick (43.0%), Pole (40.5%), Honey (37.8%), Snail (27%), Caterpillar (25%), Cricket (20.4%) and Climbers (19%). The result also shows that forest resources contributed very high to the livelihood of the people in the areas of food for household consumption, additional income, medicinal values, water supply and trading of forest products. Furthermore, the study results showed that the most need met by the people from the sale of forest products is feeding of households (19.4%) and investing in farming activities (13.8%). The communities differ significantly (P=0.05) in the contribution of the forest reserve to their livelihoods. The study recommends that State Government, local authorities and aid agencies should provide alternative sources of fuel energy by establishing village owned solar power plants and fuelwood efficient stoves. This will reduce dependence on the forest reserve for energy and also curtail deforestation of the reserve. Modified Taungya system in the reserve to engage households in forest regeneration efforts as well as the sharing of benefits from such efforts should be included in policies of the Government.

“…Forests form an integral part of rural livelihoods in Nepal (Piya, Maharjan, joshi, & Dangol, 2013). Forest products not only provide the rural population with subsistence needs like fuel wood, fodder, and litter, but also provide wild foods during the periods of food shortage.…”

Nepal is a mountainous country, where most of the people are depend on forest resources for their livelihood. Non-Timber Forest Product (NTFPs) plays a crucial role in the rural livelihood. NTFPs serve as a source for their primary health, nutrition, income generation, energy (fuel wood) and material for a social-cultural and religious ceremony. The research was carried out the specific objectives of identification availability NTFPs, Role of NTFP in local livelihood, prospects, and problems to develop NTFP in the study area. The study was carried out in Chiti, Jita and Taksar Village Development Committee (VDC) of Lamjung District.

The qualitative data were analyzed by descriptive measure and presented in forms of charts, figure and tables. There were 52 major NTFPs identified in the study area and all respondents have knowledge about NTFPs, but they are not involved to collect NTFP for commercial purpose. They use only household purposes such as firewood for energy, leaf litter for religious purpose, and wild food and fruits are used for domestic use. The main problems of the development of NTFPs people are gradually leaving use traditional knowledge about medicinal plants. Slowly they became dependent at modern product and most of the people are depending on remittance. NTFPs play a safety net role to assist communities in adverse situation such as crop failure under the current change in climate and variability. Most of the people have knowledge about value of NTFPs and traditional knowledge about medicinal herbs, but such a valuable knowledge regarding use value of NTFPs seems to be disappearing into the younger generations.

“…Selama ini rotan jernang umumnya dipungut (diekstraksi) dari hutan tropis Asia Tenggara (Pearson & Prendergast, 2001) termasuk sepanjang Pegunungan Bukit Barisan Selatan. Kegiatan pemanenan dan pengolahan hasil hutan dapat memberikan pekerjaan dan pendapatan musiman bagi masyarakat (John, 2005), dapat mengurangi 30% ketidaksetaraan pendapatan namun tidak mengurangi kemiskinan (Margoluis, 1994dalam Neumann & Hirsch, 2000 terutama untuk masyarakat dengan pendapatan rendah dan luas lahan yang sempit (Piya, Maharjan, Joshi, & Dangol, 2011) HHBK memiliki peran yang sangat penting bagi penopang perekonomian rumah tangga di masa-masa paceklik (Mutenje, Ortmann, & Ferrer, 2011) karena sebagian besar masyarakat kurang mampu akan terus berusaha untuk mendapatkan tambahan pendapatan, bahan makanan dan obat-obatan, dengan mengumpulkan dan menjual HHBK (Uprety et al, 2010) (Gupta et al, 2007). Kondisi tersebut merupakan salah satu upaya masyarakat untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya.…”

Natural dragon's blood in Muara Enim ABSTRAKRotan jernang alam di Kabupaten Muara Enim semakin menurun akibat degradasi hutan dan lahan, serta aktivitas pemungutan yang dilakukan tanpa memperhatikan aspek kelestarian. Padahal jernang dapat berperan sebagai penopang kehidupan masyarakat di sekitar hutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pemungutan rotan jernang alam, kontribusinya sebagai sumber penghidupan dan faktor yang memengaruhi pemungutannya. Pengumpulan data primer dan sekunder dilakukan dengan metode survei rumah tangga menggunakan bantuan kuesioner, diskusi kelompok fokus, serta observasi lapangan. Data ditabulasikan dan dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat melakukan kegiatan pemungutan rotan jernang untuk memenuhi kebutuhan rumah tangga pada saat tidak ada sumber pendapatan lain, yaitu ketika panen kopi dan padi sudah berakhir. Keberadaan rotan jernang yang semakin terbatas mengharuskan mereka untuk masuk jauh dan menginap di dalam hutan. Oleh sebab itu, para penjernang akan berkelompok sebanyak 4-6 orang. Cara pengumpulan hasil rotan jernang alam ada dua macam, yaitu dengan cara membawa buah bertangkainya atau dengan membawa hasil olahan (resinnya), tergantung pada jarak lokasi pemungutannya. Pendapatan yang diterima masyarakat dari pemungutan rotan jernang sebesar Rp551.087, yaitu 20,20% dari total pendapatan. Pekerjaan, pendapatan, pasar dan lama waktu pemungutan menjadi faktor yang berhubungan signifikan terhadap minat masyarakat untuk melakukan pemungutan rotan jernang.Kata kunci: Masyarakat sekitar hutan; rotan jernang; penopang kehidupan.
