| Within forest-fringe communities in South and Southeast Asia, the livelihoods of the people are largely dependent on subsistence agriculture. Alternatively, it also entails the exploitation of the natural resources including forest resource supplies as integral part of the larger socio-economic sustainability of these communities. NTFP-EP’s goal of assisting sustainable livelihoods of forest-dependent communities is a critical approach to meeting the conservation and management of forest resources and the communities that subsist on forest resources. |
