Ethnobotany The Heritage of Koraku Tribals

Ethnobotany, the study of the relationship between plants and traditional people, has evolved significantly over time. This book covers the history of ethnobotany, from its early roots in aboriginal botany to its current role in documenting the plant use of tribal communities for food, medicine, and other essential needs. It explores the expanding scope of ethnobotany, including ethnomedicine, ethnopharmacology, and ethnoecology, and the importance of preserving traditional knowledge for future generations. The book highlights the role of ethnic groups in conserving biodiversity and provides insights into the practical applications of ethnobotanical data in fields like conservation biology and drug discovery.
