  • Title: Ethnobotany and the future of conservation.
    Author: Prance GT.
    Journal: Biologist (London); 2000 Apr; 47(2):65-8. PubMed ID: 11190230.
    Abstract:
    Ethnobotany is an interdisciplinary science, where botany meets anthropology in the study of traditional uses of native plants. Indigenous peoples know and use a great deal of the plant material around them, though this age-old body of information is now in danger of being lost. How can traditional knowledge and practices help modern conservation and ecology, and how can the possessors of this knowledge retain their rights?
