Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) play an essential role in the Amazon region, contributing to the integration between biodiversity conservation and the enhancement of the bioeconomy. This study has examined the scope of NTFP research in the Amazon and pinpointed areas lacking scientific insight. From the 219 publications initially identified, 146 satisfied established inclusion criteria based on the methodology employed and the results achieved. It was found that the inaugural publication indexed by Scopus on Amazonian NTFPs dates to 1992. It was found that the inaugural publication indexed by Scopus on Amazonian NTFPs dates to 1992. Despite the extensive body of research, there is a noticeable deficit in studies addressing legal and regulatory frameworks within the NTFP production chain and public policy development. Research has predominantly concentrated on production, distribution, management, and economic aspects, often neglecting the social, normative, and political dimensions. Advancing the bioeconomy value chains in the Amazon necessitates empowering local communities to derive economic benefits from biodiversity. However, recognizing the complexity of these communities' relationships with the forest is important. Their interaction with the forest extends beyond economic considerations, embracing cultural, subsistence, and spiritual connections. These insights underscore the necessity for a comprehensive and sustainable approach to NTFP management in the Amazon, ensuring that biodiversity conservation and local community empowerment are integrally pursued. This holistic perspective is vital for fostering a resilient bioeconomy in the region.
非木材森林产品（NTFPs）在亚马逊地区发挥着重要作用，有助于将生物多样性保护与生物经济的增强相结合。本研究考察了亚马逊地区 NTFP 研究的范围，并确定了缺乏科学洞察力的领域。从最初确定的 219 篇出版物中，有 146 篇根据所采用的方法和取得的结果满足既定的纳入标准。研究发现，Scopus 上最早索引的关于亚马逊 NTFP 的出版物可以追溯到 1992 年。尽管有大量的研究，但在 NTFP 生产链和公共政策制定中的法律和监管框架方面的研究明显不足。研究主要集中在生产、分配、管理和经济方面，往往忽略了社会、规范和政治方面。要推进亚马逊的生物经济价值链，就必须使当地社区能够从生物多样性中获得经济利益。然而，认识到这些社区与森林的关系的复杂性是很重要的。他们与森林的互动不仅涉及经济因素，还包括文化、生计和精神联系。这些观点强调了在亚马逊地区对 NTFP 进行全面和可持续管理的必要性，以确保生物多样性保护和地方社区赋权得到统筹推进。这种整体观点对于在该地区培育有弹性的生物经济至关重要。
