Abstract
Non Wood Forest Products play a key role in the life and economy of communities living in and around forests. This paper examines the livelihood of people in a Protected Area and the factors influencing the extent of their dependence on forest. NWFPs have a tremendous potential to create large scale employment opportunity thereby helping in reducing poverty and increasing empowerment of particularly tribal and poor people of the poorest and backward districts of the country. With this view, a study was undertaken predominantly in tribal regions of Gujarat to determine the role of NWFPs in augmenting the income of tribal family. This study was carried out for twelve important NWFPs of Gujarat which revealed that 21519.141 quintals of NWFPs were collected having economic worth of Rs. 386.852 lakhs. It was also observed that Timru leaves production was maximum but economically Mahua flowers alone contributed in getting higher returns.
