Plant Species for the Manufacture of Malagasy Traditional Alcoholic Beverages
Alcoholic beverages are an important component of many traditional events of Madagascar, including life-course events like male circumcision, burial and exhumation. As with many other parts of Malagasy customary practice, these beverages incorporate the unique and richly diverse flora of Madagascar. We conducted structured interviews with producers and consumers of Malagasy Traditional Alcoholic Beverages (MTABs) in 10 regions of Madagascar, span…

What Really Is “Harávola”—Solving the Mystery of the Most Common Basket Material in Madagascar
The most used medicinal plants by communities in Mahaboboka, Amboronabo, Mikoboka, Southwestern Madagascar
BACKGROUND: This paper reports a study undertaken in three remote communities (Mahaboboka, Amboronabo, Mikoboka), located in Sakaraha, Southwestern Madagascar. Not only villages are far away from sanitary infrastructures and doctors but drugs and consulting fees are unaffordable to villagers. They rely essentially on natural resources for health care as for most of rural areas in Madagascar. This paper aims to document medicinal plants used by co…
Ethnobotanical Study of the Medicinal Plants Known by Men in Ambalabe, Madagascar
Madagascar has high biodiversity and endemism that are threatened by growing human populations and climate change. Species loss has potential impacts on traditional knowledge and community health. The aim of this project was to identify medicinal plants known and used by men in the Commune of Ambalabe sourced from the Vohibe Forest in eastern Madagascar. Interviews were conducted that resulted in collection of 137 plant species used by men to tre…
Palms and Palm Use in Ambalabe, a Community in Eastern Madagascar
Twenty-six native palm species of three genera were identified for Vohibe Forest, eastern Madagascar. In addition, two introduced (Cocos nucifera L., Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) and one native/possibly introduced species (Raphia farinifera (Gaertn.) Hyl.) are cultivated in the area. Local participants of an inventory on palm species and uses mentioned seven native species of two genera, including two folk species, but no plants could be found and no…
Medicinal plants used to treat the most frequent diseases encountered in Ambalabe rural community, Eastern Madagascar
Background Traditional medicine remains the only health care available in many rural areas in Madagascar like the rural community of Ambalabe, located in a very remote area in the eastern part of the country. With limited access to modern medicine, the local population uses medicinal plants to treat most diseases. In this study, we aimed to inventory medicinal plants used by local people and how those relate to the treatment of the most frequent …
Medicinal plants sold in the markets of Antananarivo, Madagascar
The markets of Antananarivo have always played a vital cultural role in the lives of urban Malagasy, but our study shows they also play an economic role not only for urban residents but rural harvesters as well. Continued research and monitoring of the non-timber forest products trade in Antananarivo is needed to better understand the impact of trade on the wild plant populations
Ethnobotanical and economic value of Ravenala madagascariensisSonn. in Eastern Madagascar
Ravenala madagascariensis is very important to the Ambalabe communities because for local population, it represents the Betsimisaraka cultural and traditional use of the plant for house building. Moreover, none of its parts are discarded. The harvest and sale of R. madagascariensis for building materials can also provide an additional source of income to the family. Besides, using Ravenala in house construction reduces the use of slow growing tre…
