These non-wood products are being ignored because of several reasons ranging from inadequate of formal regulations, which are mostly focused on timber harvesting,lack of data on their distributions in nature, less capital investment to their diversities is enormous made them difficult to put in the nomination focus. It seems that these forest product commodities are being neglected despite of their irreplaceable contribution of local and indigenous community in fulfilling their daily foods, energy, medicinal plants, protein, and other essential substances. Utilization of non-timber forest products in Indonesian New Guinea could be divided into seven classifications such as a) staple foods for carbohydrates, vitamin, mineral, protein and lipid, b) energy for daily cooking and warming traditional house or huts, c) material for traditional constructions of sea or river transportation, housing wall and roofing, d) sources of medicinal plants and herbs from nature, e) raw material for traditional handcraft (dyeing, natural fibres, sculpture), f) an extra income and informal works by direct selling their harvested non-timber commodities when their necessities are fulfilled, g) customary land right that could not be sold, transferred or replaced as natural forest providing shelter for ancestors, inspirations, magic, and others. Utilization of non-timber forest products have to be focused with local products already existed, and intervention could be focused for value added purposes such as branding, labeling, packaging, standardization, and marketing chain implemented as the new directions to improve direct contributions to local and indigenous community.
