Abstract
Based on the ethnobotanical survey and interviews, key timber and non-timber forest resources were identified and enumerated in three strategic villages. Using an application of the refined methodology of Charles M. Peters (1999). The results obtained enable us to have the rate of destruction of the timber and NTFPs in the Plain. The distribution of these different species is not uniform and most of the products signaled in the country as important do not appear in the local important species list of this Plain. The restitution of the results obtained may help the population of the Plain to better value their products and to set up management plans for greater sustainability. (Author abstract, modified)
