Use of non-timber forest products by people living in tropical dry forest
A study was carried out in the Quimis enclosure, located in the road Jipijapa - Manta - Portoviejo, in the canton of Jipijapa, province of Manabí, Ecuador, in order to obtain information about the properties and uses of Non-woods Forest Products (NWFPs) by the inhabitants of the enclosure Quimis.

| description | A study was carried out in the Quimis enclosure, located in the road Jipijapa - Manta - Portoviejo, in the canton of Jipijapa, province of Manabí, Ecuador, in order to obtain information about the properties and uses of Non-woods Forest Products (NWFPs) by the inhabitants of the enclosure Quimis. Based on interviews and conversations, the problem arose that the use of non-woods forest products (NWFPs) in the area does not lead to the sustainable management of ecosystems in the region. The use of the empirical method of surveys and the realization of a simple random probabilistic sampling showed that there are potentialities for the sustainable use of the NTFPs. The distance to the sites and the form of NTFP extraction in the Quimis enclosure may be indicating impoverishing processes of tropical dry forest. Actions are needed that contribute to the sustainable use of NTFPs that involve the social actors of the campus, including gender and aimed at giving greater prominence to the youth. |
