Taking into account the consequences resulting from the excessive use of natural resources, the need for their sustainable management and use is understandable. Therefore, the use of non-wood forest products (NWFPs) and the conservation of biological diversity are gaining increasing importance. However, inadequate collection of NWFPs can have negative consequences for biodiversity conservation through land degradation, which can lead to degradation of forest ecosystems. The paper presents the results of socio-economic survey of attitudes of 49 NWFP collectors in certain areas of Serbia. The paper analyzes responses to 12 questions related to sustainable collection of NWFPs. It is focused on the characteristics of collection, as well as the attitudes of NWFP collectors towards vulnerability of biodiversity caused by NWFP collection in the research area. The results show that most of the collectors haven`t attended training on proper collection of NWFP. Thus, the majority of them believe that the collection of NWFPs does not reduce their sustainability over a longer period of time in the area. The respondents mostly believe that the climatic conditions are the greatest threat to the growth of NWFP.
