Agarwood is a valuable non-timber forest product in international trade regulated under the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). One of the Scientific Authorities of CITES working on agarwood is the Rain Forest Research Institute (RFRI). The paper reviews the research by the RFRI on agarwood and indicates the road ahead, which will be relevant for the whole country. The research till date has revolved around distribution, genetic variation, tree improvement, silviculture, agroforestry, artificial induction of agarwood, pests and diseases and their control, besides NDF (Non-Detriment Finding) study and fixing of export quota. Research is required on the post-harvest processing, products, their diversification, chemistry, grading, quality control, trade and socio-economics. The Institute has a key role to balance the demands of trade with conservation.

An attempt has been taken to address the benefits of cultivating large hectarage of Bamboo forests and resultant shrubberies that can be planted, cared, accessed and used by the community, without the complicated adherence to forest rights issues. Tribal India Chamber of Trade, Agriculture & Commerce (TICTAC) has launched the series of ‘bamboo van-sangh karyashalas’ to take the idea of reforesting India.

The present study was carried out to explore the plant diversity in the famous Santala Devi Sacred Grove, situated on the outskirts of Dehradun city in Uttarakhand state. A total of 103 plant species belonging to 90 genera under 46 families were documented. The study centered only on the diversity of ligneous (woody) species in the forest. The recorded plant species have been presented based on their scientific and vernacular names, family habit and their uses. Moreover, the ecological importance of plants and their conservation needs have been also discussed in this paper.

Tetu, Oroxylum indicum (L.) Vent. (Family-Bignoniaceae), is an important medicinal tree species used in Ayurveda and other traditional health systems. Roots of this species are used in the formulation of Dashmularishta. A study was undertaken to develop a stump technique for raising the plantation of Tetu for commercial use. An experiment was carried out in the nursery of Forestry College, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. Total five different collar diameter classes viz., D1: 1-3 mm, D2: 3-4 mm, D3: 4-5 mm, D4: 5-6 mm and D5 > 6 mm were used to test the significance of size of stem on sprouting and rooting in Tetu. Stump size of 5 cm shoot and 10 cm root length were prepared. Result showed that stumps prepared out of all the five diameter classes showed good rooting and nearly 100 percent survival in all the treatments. Total number of sprouts per stump, height of new sprouts, root length and number of rootlets of leading root varied among different diameter classes; however, the overall height and root length of stumps were 37.40 cm and 19.49 cm, respectively within five months. The overall result showed that stumps prepared out of seedlings having collar diameter of 4-5 mm (D4) performed better than other sizes; thus, stump technique may be used for large scale plantation programme and ex-situ conservation.

Bamboo is a perennial resource, and charcoal produced from it can be used as an alternative to wood charcoal for household clean energy under the Non-timber forest produce category (NTFP). Present study attempts to capture the processing of bamboo charcoal using the Public Private and People Partnership (P4) approach known as the NCPP (Non-profit + Community + Public Partnership) model enterprise in Busia, Kenya, with community participation. It exemplifies the business practices adopted by the locals in order to safeguard natural resources and boost people’s standard of living. The method has the potential to be implemented widely across African nations.

The paper records the occurrence of 34 raw edible plants collected from the Madgram Watershed in the Lahaul Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India. Of the total 34 raw edible plants recorded, 12 species were native to the Himalayan Region and 7 species were native to the Himalayan and other biogeographical regions together. Ephedra gerardiana, Rheum australe and Sinopodophyllum hexandrum are endangered. Bunium persicum, Hippophae rhamnoides ssp. turkestanica and Rheum webbianum are vulnerable. Leaves and fruits were utilized in majority cases. Due to habitat degradation, overexploitation and changing environmental conditions, the populations of these wild edibles are facing high pressure. Therefore, frequent monitoring of habitats, populations, mass multiplication, education and awareness for the local inhabitants and people’s participation in conservation of wild edibles have been suggested.

The native communities of Himachal Pradesh are largely dependent on natural resources for their sustenance and have rich knowledge regarding indigenous uses, but require proper documentation for their long-time conservation. Diverse biological diversity in the Ban oak forests causes immense miscellany of widely used medicinal plants, thus an ethnobotanical approach was adopted to file the undocumented indigenous wealth and folkloric therapeutics of the communities against different human disorders. Folkloric practice provides an alternative to the needy rural population for the treatment of various ailments. The present study was conducted to document the medicinal plant diversity of ban oak forests during 2018-2019 and recorded 182 species of medicinal plants used by the local inhabitants. These are listed along with their uses, parts used, mode of administration and threat status.
