Description/notes
The NTFP-EP is a collaborative network of over 60 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) working with forest-based communities to strengthen their capacity in the sustainable management of natural resources across Asia. They envision self-empowered generations of forest-dependent communities, contributing to and benefiting from sustainably-managed forested landscapes and ecosystems, knowledge and cultural traditions. To achieve this vision NTFP-EP work with communities towards a balanced use and management of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) with the belief that it creates a connection with the forests, and also provides a strong incentive for involvement in forest conservation.
