Abstract


In southern Côte d’Ivoire, the situation in most of the forests in the Abidjan District is far from rosy. The case of the forest relic located within the Nangui Abrogoua University is even more alarming. To avoid the loss of floristic diversity and the negative repercussions on the nutrition and income of the populations, it is important to take stock of the plant resources available in this forest. The objective of this work is to assess the diversity of species that are sources of Non-Timber Forest Products exploited by local populations. The surveys carried out among the university’s populations made it possible to inventory 42 plant species, either. 24.85% of the species inventoried by the surface and itinerant survey methods. They are divided into 40 genera and 27 botanical families. Concerning the parts of the plant used, the results obtained showed that leaves are, by far, the most common non-timber forest product The evaluation of the ethnobotanical use values for the different source species of Non-Timber Forest Products showed that three (3) categories of uses have been identified, of which the field of scientific research is the most important. However, all the species collected are at different levels of importance and do not have the same social and economic value.
