Conservation of biological resources and of the indigenous traditional knowledge is essential for sustainable development and managing of natural resources the world over. The history of indigenous knowledge is as old as the human race. This knowledge has always been very important for the people who generate it. It is a matter of survival for them. Many scientists, researchers and environmentalists all over the world are now striving to explore, know, document and use the resource baseknowledge for the welfare of the wider human race.


Ethnobotany means the study of botany of the primitive human race. Ethnobotany deals with studies among the tribal and rural people for recording their unique knowledge about plant wealth and for search of new resources of herbal drugs, edible plants and other aspects of plants. The purpose of the ethnobotanical studies by botanists has followed the tradition of early naturalists who reported the use of plants by primitive cultures for possible inclusion in the homeland economy.
