Conservation of Biodiversity through Ethnobotany and Traditional Knowledge

Abstract

Carmen Eduard

Ethnobotany, the study of the relationships between plants and people, has emerged as a valuable tool in biodiversity conservation efforts. Traditional knowledge, passed down through generations of indigenous communities, offers unique insights into the sustainable use and management of natural resources. This article explores the role of ethnobotany and traditional knowledge in biodiversity conservation, highlighting their significance in promoting sustainable practices and preserving biological diversity. The integration of these two disciplines can contribute to the development of effective conservation strategies that not only protect ecosystems but also respect the rights and cultural heritage of local communities.
