This study recorded forest plants used as foods by the indigenous Cho Ro community at Phu Ly Commune in Dong Nai Culture and Nature Reserve since September 2010 to April 2011. Tools of the Participatory Rapid Appraisal, e.g. semi-structure interviews and questionnaires were applied for 30 Cho Ro households. At least 100 plants were reported being used as foods in the community. 81 of the reported species were identified to the specific level, belonging to 42 families of 3 phyla. The results indicates that the studied community has diverse knowledge on using wild plants as food and is highly dependent on the forest resource. Their harvest appears to be sustainable as most of their products are picked twigs and leaves that can be regenerated vegetatively. The study recommends a natural link between the indigenous community and natural resource and any artificial complete separation of them from the forest cannot be possible. In fact, their knowledge in sustainably using natural resources is applicable for improved forest management mechanisms, ecotourism development and clean and specialty food development, through which it contributes to provide livelihood alternatives and sustain biodiversity conservation.
