This paper provides a list of some wild medicinal, spice, aromatic and dye plants,
spreading family and medicinal uses in the GAP region of Turkey. Most of the major food crops and
some medicinal, spice, aromatic and dye originated in drylands like the
DiyarbakÚr region. These species have evolved under harsh conditions of temperature and drought. For this reason when these
Non-Wood Forest Products (NWFPs)are brought under cultivation, it is possible to provide
additional income to people living in the rural areas and to reduce erosion prevailing in these areas
threatened by desertification. Just as the sustainability of NWFPs depends on the sustainability of
forests, sustainability of forest production, including NWFPs, requires management.
