非木材森林产品 (NTFP) 对农村生计的贡献，以及其使用比木材采伐对生态破坏更小的事实，促使人们相信，对此类产品进行更集约化的森林管理有助于实现发展和保护目标，并引发了扩大非木材森林产品商业用途的举措。本文回顾了表明“通过商业化进行保护”的论文需要修订的证据。在实践中，市场需求的选择性以及森林内具有使用价值的资源分布不均，意味着非森林林产品采伐后资源可能会发生改变和退化。市场力量可能对地方控制机制施加的压力，以及利用森林资源谋生和创收的利益冲突，也可能导致较贫困的用户在非森林林产品商业化过程中处于不利地位。正在加剧。提出了一种认识到这些冲突领域并试图在发展和保护之间达到现实平衡的方法。 (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. 保留所有权利。
The contributions that non-timber forest products (NTFPs) can make to rural livelihoods, and the fact that their use is less ecologically destructive than timber harvesting, have encouraged the belief that more intensive management of forests for such products could contribute to both development and conservation objectives, and have led to initiatives to expand commercial use of NTFPs. This paper reviews evidence that indicates that this 'conservation through commercialisation' thesis needs to be revised. In practice, the selective nature of market demand, and the uneven distribution of resources of use value within forests, mean that with NTFP harvesting the resource can become altered and degraded. The pressures that market forces can place on local control mechanisms, and the conflicting interests of those using forest resources for subsistence and income generation, can also result in poorer users becoming disadvantaged as NTFP commercialisation. is intensified. An approach that recognises such areas of conflict, and attempts to arrive at a realistic balance between development and conservation, is proposed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
