A study was conducted to find out the present utilization of non-timber forest products of the Sundarbans and tries to find out the alternative uses of these resources. The Sundarbans is the largest mangrove forest in the world and proper utilization of all resources can get a chance to manage this forest in sustainable way. A questionnaire survey was conducted to get information about the utilization of non-timber forest products. It has been found that about 87% of the people are fully dependent and 13% of the people are partially dependent on the Sundarbans. Among minor forest products, golpata, honey and fish were used by 92%, 93% and 82% of people, respectively. Most of the people are unknown about the alternative use of minor forest products but there is a great chance to use them for better purposes. Alternative uses of these products will help to improve the forest conditions as well as the socio-economic conditions of the people adjacent to the Sundarbans.
