| Abstract: | Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) in recent years have been attracting
attention of institutions and industries concerned with natural products
development. In this context, traditional knowledge and practices are important
in prudent resource use and biodiversity conservation. Currently, wood is by far
the major raw material for the global pulp and paper industry and non-wood
fibres are a minor part of raw material supply. China and India are leaders in
the utilization of non-woods for paper making. Daphne papyracea Wall. ex Steud.,
locally called as ‘Shuksheng’ is a
NTFP which is traditionally used as paper making material by Monpas tribe of West Kameng and Tawang
districts of Arunachal Pradesh. The traditional paper making technique of this
tribes is described in this paper. |
