Abstract
It was carried out an inventory of species in forests semi-deciduous of the forest patrimony of the Empresa para la Conservación de la Flora y la Fauna Ciénaga de Zapata with the objective of diagnosing the present situation of the Non Wood Forest Products of vegetable origin, in order to establish considerations for the sustainable administration of the same ones. It were defined 12 categories for the NWFPs and 6 for the anthropocentric uses, being the leaves, fruits, foliage and barks, as well as the uses social-religious and medicinal, the most significant categories for the numeric distribution and the percentages of species which are obtained. These categories imply defoliation and denudation in their process of obtaining, with the risk of degradation of the productive capacities of the species, being necessary the validation of the therapeutic properties attributed by the popular use, which are not scientifically substantiated. It is demonstrated the existent potentialities in use of NWFPs of this forest ecosystem.
