ABSTARCT Investigations have been made on medicinal values of higher plants but the role of Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) on the livelihood of tribals in Mayurbhanj district of Orissa are unfortunately ignored. The dominant tribes involved in using NTFPs in the district are Santhal, Kol, Bhumija, Bhuyan, Mahalis, Sounti and Saharas. This study documents the uses and trading of 37 NTFPS on the basis of field surveys and taxonomic identification of plants. Some of the important genera of the district are Cyperus, Desmodium, Blumea, Dendrabiun, Indigofera and Ficus. |
