摘要:

Ethnobotanical survey was conducted in a small village of Danao within the Lake Danao Forest Landscape, to identify woody plant species commonly used by the local people. A total of 10 informants were individually interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. A total of 7 woody species representing 7 families were documented. The uses of woody plants were identified as timber, fuelwood, and industrial compounds. The most common use of the species was timber as construction materials for furniture production. Other uses noted were medicine, source of seedlings and feeds for wild boars. Conservation activities were also present in the village since it is within the boundaries of the protected area. However, the locals were still able to consume the natural resources. Therefore, there is a need for strict protection and regulation of harvesting of woody plant species in the forest. It is recommended that the local government designate a specific land where locals could harvest resources outside the protected area. It is also recommended to improve and strengthen the local participation on the conservation and protection of woody plant species in Lake Danao Forest Landscape.
