Ethnobotany in forest management

Botany – use,cognition, ecology(Abbasi et al., 2012)
Part decentralized
approach – people
give solution(Cunningham,2001)

EthnobotanyInterdependency – locals
and plant biodiversity(Ghimire and Bastakoti,2009)
Valued source ofmedicines (Sedjo, 2000)

Medicinal plants
Quantitative analysis –potential tool for
conservation (Helidaet al., 2015)

Four main efforts:
document, use andmgt, benefits,
maximize value for
local people (Martin,2004)
