Documenting sustainable harvesting practices of NTFPs

  • by

In 2015, a survey was conducted with the objective of documentation of NTFPs collected and sustainable practices among Yanadhi communities in 32 tribal villages on the fringes of KWLS. A field study was conducted for this purpose covering Yanadi Tribal communities living on the fringes of KWLS in 7 Mandals of Chitoor District, Andhra Pradesh. This was completed as a part of a UNDP funded project. The objective of this documentation was to compile knowledge of how traditionally bioresources were harvested and the kinds of bioresources harvested. Such a community based data collection also had the salutary effect on the communities’ sense of self-affirmation about their lives and knowledge. The primary knowledge so gathered can be then used to develop sustainable forest management practices and perhaps create interested communities who will take up forest based livelihoods in a sustainable manner.
