文摘

Wood resin derived from Dipterocarpus alatus, D. turbinatus, D. intricatus, D. tuberculatus and D. costatus is an important naturally occurring Non-timber Forest Product tapped by ethnic Brao people living in forested areas near Virachey National Park in Taveng Leu Commune, Ratanakiri Province, northeast Cambodia. This thesis describes the local and international uses of Dipterocarpus wood resin, as well as harvesting practices, trading patterns and tenure and management arrangements associated with the resource. Detailed measurements were taken of 780 trees with 975 tap holes owned by 20 Brao tappers from three communities. Sustainability issues are considered, and it is determined that wood resin tree tapping is generally not destructive, although improvements in management are possible. Wood resin trees are generally believed to be private property, but in Taveng Leu they are managed under an indigenous system that dualistically combines some of the best of both private and common property tenure arrangements.
