Résumé : |
The production, consumption and international trade in MAPs and phytomedicines, are growing and are expected to grow in future significantly. With this growth in global demand for MAPs and a large base of local demand for plant based traditional medicines, the pressure on the existing populations of MAPs has increased tremendously during the last few decades. Considering the number of species and the relatively small land area, Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) is among the five richest countries in Europe in terms of species density and diversity. While B&H is an important center of biodiversity for the region, it has the highest proportion of threatened plant species of any country in Europe. The region of Vlasenica was selected for the implementation of the FairWild Standard in Bosnia and Herzegovina, to develop an approach on how to harmonize the commercial utilization and conservation of the regional Allium ursinum population in the wild. Main purpose of this study is to demonstrate effective management and sustainable use of wild-collected plant, ensuring thereby the long-term survival of the natural population and contributing substantially to local livelihoods. The resource assessment (RA) was implemented as required by the FairWild standard. RA is an essential component of an adaptive management process and includes gathering information on distribution, identification of its target populations, inventory and total natural harvestable stock in the selected area. RA included data collection, resource inventory, yield and regeneration study, harvest impact assessment and monitoring and harvest adjustment. Results show that Allium ursinum is not in a danger of overexploitation in surveyed region due to the abundance of this plant species and proper management performed by local forest authorities. Conducting RA, jointly with local forestry authorities, it was found useful to test the resource assessment methodology, and further develop the species management plan. Appropriate recommendations for local forest authorities, companies, experts and collectors are included in RA. |
