Toward Establishing the Productive Chain for Triterpene-Based Amazonian Oleoresins as Valuable Non-Timber Forest Products

In the Amazonian rainforest, many species of Burseraceae known locally as “breu” are explored for the medicinal and aromatic uses of their trunk exudates. This material also has a long-standing use by the forest communities in building and caulking boats as well as in the making of wooden utensils and general crafts. Breu are strongly aromatic due volatile terpenes in their composition that are separated from the crude resin by steam distillation. The remaining residue amorphous “hard resin” is primary used for application in woodworking. Despite the potential for application in paints, varnishes and odor fixatives, the commercialization of the hard resin has not surpassed the local market level. In order to achieve and establish a more valorized market for this Amazonian non-timber forest product, the existing and potential demands need to be estimated, a draft of the production chain needs to be drawn up and care needs to be taken to provide products of the highest possible quality. This study aimed to identify and organize the main issues necessary for the attainment of these goals and its value chain, and identify the technologies that would improve the quality of the Amazonian breu as a raw material. A review of the data available in the literature and the analytical techniques that could be applied to generate standards for the extraction, purification, and analysis of the hard resin fraction was made. Quality issues based on physicochemical standards might affect the productive chain by: i) helping to consolidate the appropriate methodologies for collecting and storing the raw material; ii) adding value and qualifying the primary improvement processes and iii) supporting the certification of the raw materials for commercialization. Potentiate this material to reach high-level markets might boost the production demand and improve the rain forest communities’ income.

Craft data mapping and spatial analysis for historical landscape modeling

Abstract This paper discusses research on gypsum decorated ceilings of Piemonte. They are a precious architectural and rural cultural heritage and are extremely delicate and fragile due to the material characteristics. Some examples of these ceilings date as far back as the late16th century and the earliest examples were made near the end of the 19th century. Apparently similar to wooden coffered ceilings, the gypsum panels in these ceilings have a bearing function together with the wooden framework and they present a very rich collection of decorations derived from the wood carving tradition. The issues on which this paper focuses are the analyses carried out by GIS data management, intended to improve our knowledge of the value of these ceilings. New information about their presence, state of conservation and reasons for their widespread occurrence are the basic pillars for planning possible conservation strategies. A first step in the analysis addresses the comparison of the similarities between ceiling decoration and certain traditional works of wood crafts found in the same area. The collection of data concerning the carved decoration of wooden doors between the 16th and the 19th centuries, together with the organization of a geo-referenced spatial database, has provided the opportunity to identify the presence of gypsum ceilings and carved doors in the same places and belonging to the same period. A second step deals with the meaning of these different kinds of spatial distributions. The generation of different kinds of data clusters, based on the repeated elements on the decorations has been researched. Spatial analyses based on average distances, weighted overlay analysis and involving the digital terrain model of the general area have been performed in order to compare ceiling distributions based on decoration similarities and the historical road network.

Wood craft enterprises participation and return analysis in Oyo State

The focus of this study is to examine the factors that enhance participation in wood craft enterprises, as well as estimating the return (profit) to such enterprises in Oyo State. A total of one hundred and fifty (150) copies of well structured questionnaires were administered in three Local Government Areas of Oyo States (Iseyin, Ibarapa Central and Akinyele Local Government Areas) with 50 copies of such questionnaires distributed in each Local Government which cut across various wood craft entrepreneurs in the study area. Descriptive, Logit and budgetary analysis were employed to know the determinants of wood craft enterprises participation and returns in the study area. Above 70% of the respondents were married but with low education, with 80% of them having primary school education and below. Around 60% of them have more than 7 years of experience and they depend more on family labour (55.3%). Mostly, they source capital by personal means with about 90% having less than 50, 000 capital base. The wood craft entrepreneurs on the average would realize a total revenue of N102, 340 per month. The total variable cost and the total fixed cost were 38, 692 and N10, 000 respectively, the economic efficiency for the enterprises was 1.10 which implies that for every N1 spent by the wood craft entrepreneurs in the study area on wood craft production, 10 kobo was realized as profit. It is evident that wood craft enterprises is going into extinction as the participants have crossed the working age limit, who are more semi-illiterate, if not completely illiterate.
