Résumé

Knowledge of how human harvest impacts plants on high demand for non-timber forest products is essential for targeted conservation. Herbs and shrubs are some of the main sources of such products. However, documentation of human impact on forest flora usually focuses trees. We assessed the status of three forest understory shrubs on high demand for various non-timber forest product uses around Mabira Central Forest Reserve, Uganda.
