Forest Products for Rural Communities

Forest products play a crucial role in the livelihoods of rural communities around the world. These communities rely on the forest for a variety of products, including timber, firewood, medicinal plants, and food. Forest products provide income, food security, and access to essential resources for many rural residents. Sustainable forest management is essential to ensure the long-term availability of these products and to protect the environment. By promoting responsible harvesting practices and supporting community-based forest management initiatives, we can help rural communities thrive while preserving the forest for future generations.
