DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Research in recent years has increasingly shifted away from purely academic research, and into applied aspects of the discipline, including climate change research, conservation, and sustainable development. It has by now widely been recognized that “traditional” knowledge is always in flux and adapting to a quickly changing environment. Trends of globalization, especially the globalization of plant markets, have greatly influenced how plant resources are managed nowadays. While ethnobotanical studies are now available from many regions of the world, no comprehensive encyclopedic series focusing on the worlds mountain regions is available in the market. Scholars in plant sciences worldwide will be interested in this website and its dynamic content. The field (and thus the market) of ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology has grown considerably in recent years. Student interest is on the rise, attendance at professional conferences has grown steadily, and the number of professionals calling themselves ethnobotanists has increased significantly (the various societies, like the Society for Economic Botany, the International Society of Ethnopharmacology, the Society of Ethnobiology, and the International Society for Ethnobiology currently have thousands of members). Growth has been most robust in BRIC countries. This new MRW on Ethnobotany of the Himalayas takes advantage of the increasing international interest and scholarship in the field of mountain research. It includes the best and latest research on a full range of descriptive, methodological, theoretical, and applied research on the most important plants in the Himalayas. Each contribution is scientifically rigorous and contributes to the overall field of study.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book offers a broad summary of the wild plants and their usage, as well as the growing interest in ethnopharmacology research. The book comprises of important issues such as diversity of wild plants with emphasis on medicinal and food plants, threats to wild plants and traditional ethnobotanical knowledge, their uses in skin diseases, snake-bites, in cosmeceuticals, etc. Moreover, the ethnopharmacological relevance of wild plants in Latin America has been discussed. The chapters include a wide range of case studies, giving updated evidence on the importance of their wild plant resources from different countries including Peru, Nepal, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Brazil. In addition, some specific species are used to explain their potential properties, as well as the dangers of their use without guidance of trained natural healers. The book discusses traditional usage and properties of wild plants and is entirely different from other related publications and useful for the researchers working in the areas of conservation biology, botany, ethnobiology, ethnopharmacology, policymakers, etc.

Botany, language: English, abstract: This paper analyses the ethnic plants of the Tharu people in the Ramdhuni-2 Sunsari district in Nepal, their various uses and the socio-cultural aspect of Tharus and explores those plant uses. Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and the Interview-Method were used for the collection of ethnobotincal data from the studied area. In the present study, 37 plants species were collected from the study area under 25 families. Out of 37 plants 32 were found to be dicot and 5 were found to be monocot. 37 species were distributed in 25 families. The indigenous Tharus were using these plant species for various purposes, such as medicine, food, fodder, ornaments, materials etc. Among those plants 25 plants are used as medicine, 21 plants are used as fodder, followed by 10 plants as food and edible fruits and so on. Among the 37 species, trees and herbs were dominant upon grasses, shrubs, climbers and creepers, followed by shrubs. 24 species were used for their leaves. 29 species were found to be useful having more than one value. Ethnobotany refers to the study of an ethnic plant of particular people living in a particular place. Ethnobotany accommodates lists, details and description of all those plants regarding their various uses. This study has been done in the Ramdhuni-2, Sunsari district in the Tharu community.
