90% of the 1.2 billion people living with less than 1 USD/day, depend on the utilization of forests. The dry forests of the Tumbes-Piura-region at the coast of Southwest Ecuador are one of the 25 global hotspots of biodiversity with an immense number of endemic species. Nonetheless, they are endangered by anthropogenic impact. In this study we surveyed 89 households of five different districts to analyze the extent and importance of the different forest uses in the region. The results showed that forest utilization is practised by 97% of the households. With a share of 31% it contributes the 2nd highest amount to the mean total household income, only surpassed by livestock farming (36%). The most important use of the forests is silvopasture, which represents not only an important source of cash income, but also a substantial contribution to subsistence.
