Hutsuls, an ethnic group of Ukrainian and Romanian Bukovina, have been living in the Carpathians for centuries, utilizing various wild forest products through practices and beliefs regulating the sustainable use of natural resources. Specifically, Hutsuls residing in the vicinity of forests use wild forest products with tangible (wild food, medicine, and handicrafts) and intangible benefits (cultural uses of forests, including ritual food, ornamental plants). Hutsuls’ long-standing relationship with forest ecosystems can valuably contribute to developing practices for the sustainable use of natural resources. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze and compare the use of wild forest products by Hutsuls in Ukraine and Romania, focusing on their contribution towards meeting Sustainable Development Goals. Through 60 semi-structured face-to-face interviews, we identified tangible and intangible uses of wild forest products. Our results show that wild forest products managed by Hutsuls significantly contribute to five Sustainable Development Goals, including 1 (No poverty), 2 (No hunger), 3 (Good health and well-being), 12 (Responsible consumption and production), and 15 (Life on land). Moreover, we observed differences in the mechanisms by which wild forest products contribute to Sustainable Development Goals among Hutsuls in the two countries. We discuss the driving forces and changes in the use of forest resources and possible applications to achieving Sustainable Development Goals, especially during these turbulent times.
