Dolj Forest District manages a surface of 59 800 ha public forest fund and 9 125 ha private property forest fund. Non-wood forest products represent an important part for all industries, as well as for the gastronomic and artisanal domains. In this context, the present paper presents the importance of capitalizing game species and the need for this sector`s development, by taking into account three species frequently found in this area. The crop goose (Anser fabalis) is a species with a high price for the raw product as well as for the derived products. Partridge (Perdix perdix) has a smaller harvesting period and distribution range and the largest quantities are found in forest units of Amaradia, Perişor and Filiaşi. Pickerel (Esox lucius) is a very popular species, with a high selling potential and an increased market request. These species belong to the 8 game species that were analyzed through the AHP interval based on 19 criteria.
