4.2.2: Income generated from NTFPs and other sources by Livestock managers in the study area.
An average monthly income of N1, 523.18 ±977.71 was derived from NTFPs, while an average monthly income of N1, 908.94 ± 959.69 was derived from other sources by the livestock managers (Table 4.2.2). T-test analysis also showed significant difference (p<0.05) between the two sources. Thus, other sources contributed more to the income of the livestock managers than NTFPs for community livelihoods in the study area.
The decision rule is that when p<0.05, significant difference exist between the income from the two sources and when p>0.05 means there is no significant difference between the income from the two sources.

4.2.3: Income generated from NTFPs and other sources by Marketers of NTFPs in the study area.
Table 4.2.3 showed that, an average monthly income of N4, 882.06 ±3391.75 was derived from NTFPs compared to an average monthly income of N5, 708.07 ± 3427.39 derived from other sources by marketers of NTFPs in the study area. T-test showed that, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the income generated from NTFPs and that from other sources by the marketers of NTFPs for community livelihoods in the study area. It therefore implies that, the income from other sources and the income from NTFPs are almost similar. The decision rule is that when p<0.05, significant difference exist between the income from the two sources and when p>0.05 means there is no significant difference between the income from the two sources.

4.2.4: Income generated from NTFPs and other sources by Building/energy material suppliers in the study area.
The result of t-test analysis (Table 4.2.4) showed that average monthly income derived from NTFPs was not significantly different (p>0.05) from that derived from other sources by building and energy material suppliers. Although, the sum of N1, 268.47
±2023.61 was derived from NTFPs which is a bit lower than the income (N1, 304.50 ± 1960.96) derived from other sources. T-test result implies that, the income derived from the two sources by the building/energy material suppliers are almost the same.
The decision rule is that when p<0.05, significant difference exist between the income from the two sources and when p>0.05 means there is no significant difference between the income from the two sources.

4.2.5: Income generated from NTFPs and other sources by Medicinal herbs collectors in the study area.
The result of t-test on income derived from NTFPs by Medicinal herbs collectors (Table 4.2.5) and that from other sources were not significantly different (p>0.05). An average monthly income of N1, 553.23 ±1062.74 was derived from NTFPs while an average monthly income of N1, 419.35 ± 743.46 was derived from other sources by the medicinal herbs collectors in the study area. This implies that, the contributions from the two sources in terms of income to the medicinal herbs collectors in the study area are almost the same. The decision rule is that when p<0.05, significant difference exist between the income from the two sources and when p>0.05 means there is no significant difference between the income from the two sources.

4.2.5.1: Use of NTFPs by Medicinal herbs collector in Taraba State, Nigeria Table 4.2.5.1 showed diseases treated using NTFPs and they include; Malaria, 10(20.8%), dysentery, 6(12.5%), diarrhea, 6(12.5%), measles, 8(16.6%), pneumonia 6(12.5%), typhoid5 (10.4%), cholera, 4(8.3%) and cerebrospinal meningitis, 3(6.3%).
This implies that, medicinal herbs collectors depend on NTFPs for community livelihoods in the study area.
