Russian forests offer a bounty of natural food and medicinal products. Both local villagers and wild animals depend on the mushrooms,
berries, nuts, honey and medical plants that grow there.
This booklet describes how wise use of nontimber forest resources helps to protect the ‘home’ of the Siberian tiger and to promote sustainable forest management in Russia.
