%X in the upper basin of the botanamo river, at imataca forest reserve (county sifontes, bol¨ªvar state) native and indigenous communities live together using non timber forest products (ntfp) as means of subsistence. personal interviews were conducted in 310 households, using a semi-structured questionnaire to characterize the ntfp tree species. the specific uses were: medicine (35%), food (32%), fiber and handicrafts (13%), fodder (11%), colorant (7%) and ornamental (2%); near of 75% of the sampled population meets their basic needs using forest products. it is noteworthy that 76% of tree species used as ntfps are native to local forests, reflecting a high degree of knowledge and use of natural forest by the native communities living in the sector.
