A large community of scientists has demonstrated that millions of people located in tropical zones derive a significant proportion of their livelihoods from the extraction of non-timber forest products (NTFPs). Despite these results, questions remain as to whether the valorisation of NTFPs can sustainably contribute to the improvement of the livelihood assets of the extractors. This study therefore evaluated the contribution of NTFP valorisation to the livelihood assets of local people around the northern periphery of the Dja Faunal Reserve (DFR), East Cameroon. To achieve this objective, data collected from 215 households in 32 villages were analyzed using factor analysis, Mann–Whitney U tests, and structural equation modelling. The results suggest that NTFP valorisation significantly contributes to the livelihood assets of local people at the periphery of the DFR. However, NTFP revenue was not significant in predicting their livelihood assets. Moreover, the local conservation management practices were not significant in predicting the livelihood assets in the long run. The results also revealed that individuals who received training and capacity building on good practices such as efficient collection techniques, effective drying techniques, and good conservation techniques earned better revenues and the impact on their livelihood was more significant than for those who did not. These results therefore recommend that the way forward for NTFP valorisation lies at the level of improving its quality and the market.

喀麦隆东部Dja Faunal保护区北部外围非木材林产品的增值对当地人的生活资产的贡献

一大批科学家表明,热带地区的数百万人从非木材林产品(NTFP)的提取中获得了很大的生计。尽管取得了这些结果,但仍存在疑问,即非木材林产品的估值能否可持续地促进采掘者生计资产的改善。因此,本研究评估了NTFP增值对东喀麦隆Dja Faunal保护区(DFR)北部外围地区当地人的生活资产的贡献。为了实现这一目标,使用因子分析,Mann-Whitney U检验和结构方程模型分析了从32个村庄的215户家庭中收集的数据。结果表明,NTFP的物价上涨显着促进了DFR周边地区当地人的生计资产。但是,NTFP收入在预测其生计资产方面并不重要。此外,从长远来看,当地的自然保护管理措施在预测生计资产方面并不重要。结果还显示,接受过诸如良好的收集技术,有效的干燥技术和良好的养护技术等良好实践的培训和能力建设的个人,可以获得更好的收入,对生计的影响比那些没有接受过这种培训的人更为重要。因此,这些结果表明,NTFP定价的前进方向在于提高其质量和市场水平。NTFP的收入在预测其生计资产方面并不重要。此外,从长远来看,当地的自然保护管理措施在预测生计资产方面并不重要。结果还显示,接受过良好实践(例如高效收集技术,有效干燥技术和良好养护技术)的培训和能力建设的个人可获得更好的收入,对生计的影响比那些没有接受过这种培训的人更为重要。因此,这些结果表明,NTFP定价的前进方向在于提高其质量和市场水平。NTFP的收入在预测其生计资产方面并不重要。此外,从长远来看,当地的自然保护管理措施在预测生计资产方面并不重要。结果还显示,接受过诸如良好的收集技术,有效的干燥技术和良好的养护技术等良好实践的培训和能力建设的个人,可以获得更好的收入,对生计的影响比那些没有接受过这种培训的人更为重要。因此,这些结果表明,NTFP定价的前进方向在于提高其质量和市场水平。结果还显示,接受过良好实践(例如高效收集技术,有效干燥技术和良好养护技术)的培训和能力建设的个人可获得更好的收入,对生计的影响比那些没有接受过这种培训的人更为重要。因此,这些结果表明,NTFP定价的前进方向在于提高其质量和市场水平。结果还显示,接受过良好实践(例如高效收集技术,有效干燥技术和良好养护技术)的培训和能力建设的个人可获得更好的收入,对生计的影响比那些没有接受过这种培训的人更为重要。因此,这些结果表明,NTFP定价的前进方向在于提高其质量和市场水平。
