NTFP utility in dry dipterocarp forest of Yok Don National Park

Dzung Tran Trung, . (2006) NTFP utility in dry dipterocarp forest of Yok Don National Park. In: 8th Round-Table Conference on Dipterocarps: Dipterocarps - Enhancing Capacities in Sustainable Development and Poverty Alleviation, 15-17 Nov 2005, Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam).

Yok Don National Park (YDNP) is the largest national park in Viet Nam and it has a typical ecological system of dry dipterocarp forest comprising a rare and precious fauna and flora population including many endangered species. Drang Phok is a village totally within the YDNP. The village relied upon large areas of the YDNP for hunting NTFP collection and grazing. These areas of subsistence of Drang Phok Village overlap with some of the key biodiversity hotspot areas. There is thus a conflict between biodiversity conservation and the development. Sixteen groups of non-timber products are wild animals and river fish; the remaining 14 belong to various botanical groupings. Of importance is the resin extracted from trees of the Dipterocarp family. The villagers need to be trained on skills such as resin storage and handling as well as basic business skills.

Abstract

Yok Don National Park (YDNP) is the largest national park in Viet Nam and it has a typical ecological system of dry dipterocarp forest comprising a rare and precious fauna and flora population including many endangered species. Drang Phok is a village totally within the YDNP. The village relied upon large areas of the YDNP for hunting NTFP collection and grazing. These areas of subsistence of Drang Phok Village overlap with some of the key biodiversity hotspot areas. There is thus a conflict between biodiversity conservation and the development. Sixteen groups of non-timber products are wild animals and river fish; the remaining 14 belong to various botanical groupings. Of importance is the resin extracted from trees of the Dipterocarp family. The villagers need to be trained on skills such as resin storage and handling as well as basic business skills.
