Non-wood forest products of foods of animal origin from the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

During the entire period of development, hunting fauna are closely linked to the forest. The animals specific to the national forest are: wild boar, deer, badger, pheasant, deer, the rabbit. For some species (wild boar, pheasant, etc.) their number is regulated by law in order not to cause damage. Depending on the type of forest, the diversity of the kinetic fame is also determined. Vegetation influences through the type and quantity of food, as well as providing places for shelter. In recent times, there has been a trend toward increasing demand and prices for wild meat, due to quality and taste and physiological properties. The protection of the game in the forest environment managed by the Moldsilva Agency is carried out by 1484 employees (engineers, inspectors, foresters, guards) of 24 forestry units. There is a total of 86 hunting funds with an area of 336474 hectares. In the forest fund in the Republic of Moldova, about 6000 hectares are rented for the purpose of hunting management. Due to the increasing demand for these products, knowledge of biological and commercial potential is necessary for efficient use. In order to have a real situation and to determine the importance they are given, a review of the NWFPs animal sector has been carried out over the past 30 years. In order to maintain the sustainability of the research sector, the objectives of the study were to collect, process and disseminate food-based NWFPs data.
