This database aims to become a comprehensive source of data on non-timber forest products in the South and Southeast region. It showcases those NTFPs in the six countries where EP partners have a presence, namely India, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and Cambodia.
The database is more than just an online profile of NTFPs. Other interesting and lesser known information in relation to socio-cultural roles, management practices, and specific are recognised.
How to use this Database:
- Select a country whose NTFP sources you wish to view
- Check the list of NTFP sources below the map and select one you wish to view (note that some entries may not yet have photos)
- View the dialogue box beside the map to see more information about the selected NTFP source
