Description: July 2017. Rattan is received at LGCT's (a trader) site, treated with hot diesel oil (for preservation), dried on racks outside, and then straightened by hand before being bundeled and stacked for shipment to China. Rattan is an important non-timber forest product (NTFPs) and represents the difficulties and uncertainties inherent in ascertaining sustainable extraction levels and impacts associated with wild harvesting. In general there has been little or no monitoring or management of wild rattan harvesting and little is known about ecological effects associated with extraction. Quezon, Palawan, Philippines.
