自然资源保护主义者和环境经济学家提倡开采非木材林产品，将其作为森林转化的一种替代办法和使森林人民受益的一种手段。本文讨论了NTFP经济分析的发展，对森林资源利用的一些经济、生物和社会文化限制以及NTFP调查方法的局限性。几个案例研究证明了森林在北美和南美的重要性。虽然关于NTFP提取的可持续性的研究结论不同，但大多数研究人员都认为可持续的收获是罕见的。这篇文章提出了超越生物和经济问题的额外考虑。森林为居住在其中的人民提供了物质文化的基础，同时也与土著人民的宗教、神话和精神有着内在的联系。自然资源保护主义者有道德义务考虑这些人的需求和愿望，并结合保护和管理计划。
Conservationists and environmental economists have promoted the extraction of non-timber forest products (NTFP) as an alternative to forest conversion and as a means to benefit forest peoples. This article discusses the development of NTFP economic analyses and some economic, biological and socio-cultural constraints on the use of forest resources and methodological limitations of NTFP investigations. Several case studies document the importance of the forest in both North and South America. While studies differ in their conclusions regarding the sustainability of NTFP extraction, most researchers agree that sustainable harvesting is rare. The article argues for additional considerations that transcend the biological and economic concerns. While forests provide the basis of material culture for peoples that inhabit them, they are also linked intrinsically to the religion, mythology, and psyche of native peoples. Conservationists have an ethical obligation to consider the needs and desires of these people in conjunction with conservation and management plans.
