From field to the edge of memory: The ethnobotany and conservation of indigenous wheats in Georgia, the Caucasus
Background: Wheat is the third most produced crop and provides roughly 20% of the world’s calories. Georgia preserves one of the world’s oldest and richest traditions of wheat cultivation with over 15 Triticum species historically cultivated, including some dating back to 8000 years ago. But many species, varieties, and practices are either under threat or lost. Early botanical studies identified two distinct centers of indigenous wheat diversity…
What are the most significant challenges that ethnobiology and ethnomedicine have faced so far, and how were they dealt with
Ethnobiology explores the complex, evolving relationships between humans and the natural world, encompassing diverse subfields such as ethnobotany, ethnozoology, ethnopharmacology, and more. This scientific field of research has undergone several developmental phases since its inception in the late nineteenth century, evolving from colonial-era documentation of useful species to contemporary collaborative and decolonized approaches that emphasize…
Edible wild herbs and mushrooms of Tusheti (the eastern Greater Caucasus), Georgia
Background: Wild herbs were traditionally widely used in everyday diet of the population of alpine areas of Georgia. Ethnography has a long history of research in the country, and along with the results particularly intensified ethnobotanical and ethnomycological studies of the recent decades, it is interesting to synthesize the data scattered in the Georgian ethnographic sources, an attempt of which is the present paper. Methods: The review pape…
Traditional use of Polypores in Georgia (the Caucasus)
Background: The present work was intended to explore the quantitative ethnobotany and conservation status of flora of Koh-e-Suleman range, Razmak valley, North Waziristan, Pakistan. For the first time, significant traditional knowledge of the uses of reported flora was documented. Objective: The aim of the present study was to: (i) elucidate local populations' traditional knowledge of indigenous plants used for various purposes (ii) compile ethno…
Ethnomedicinal landscape: Distribution of used medicinal plant species in Nepal
Background The risk of losing traditional knowledge of medicinal plants and their use and conservation is very high. Documenting knowledge on distribution and use of medicinal plants by different ethnic groups and at spatial scale on a single platform is important from a conservation planning and management perspective. The sustainable use, continuous practice, and safeguarding of traditional knowledge are essential. Communication of such knowled…
The trade of wild medicinal plants in the andean district of Lircay, Huancavelica, Perú: A comparative study - El comercio de plantas medicinales silvestres en el distrito andino de Lircay, Huancaveli…
Introduction: Plants sold in public markets are important for the use and economic benefit they generate. This study documents the trade of wild medicinal plants in the district of Lircay, in the southern region of Peru. Additionally, the composition of the wild medicinal species registered in the study is compared with the richness of wild species reported in three markets in the region. Methods: The methodology was based on interviews with 70 v…
Unity in diversity-food plants and fungi of Sakartvelo (Republic of Georgia), Caucasus
Background The Republic of Georgia is part of the Caucasus biodiversity hotspot, and human agricultural plant use dates back at least 6000 years. Over the last years, lots of ethnobotanical research on the area has been published. In this paper, we analyze the use of food plants in the 80% of Georgia not occupied by Russian forces. We hypothesized that (1) given the long tradition of plant use, and the isolation under Soviet rule, plant use both …
An ethnobotany of Kakheti and Kvemo Kartli, Sakartvelo (Republic of Georgia), Caucasus
Background: Kahketi and Kvemo Kartli are historical provinces of Georgia located on the south-facing macro-slope of the eastern part of the Greater Caucasus (Kahketi) and east of the Lesser Caucasus (Kvemo Kartli). In this study we documented traditional plant use in Kakheti and Kvemo Kartli.Methods: Fieldwork was conducted in August-November 2018. Interviews using semi-structured questionnaires were conducted with 40 participants (26 women and 1…

The Use of “Use Value”: Quantifying Importance in Ethnobotany
La Etnobotánica de los Chácobo en el siglo XXI
A pesar de la gran diversidad de grupos indígenas que existen en Bolivia, muy pocos estudios han documentado de forma detallada su conocimiento y uso de los recursos naturales. Los Chácobo son un pueblo de la familia de los Pano, con aproximadamente 500 miembros ubicados en el norte del depto. del Beni y que al igual que muchos otros grupos indígenas de la Amazonía han empleado diferentes estrategias para satisfacer sus necesidades de subsistenci…
Astonishing diversity-the medicinal plant markets of Bogotá, Colombia
BACKGROUND: Despite the importance of local markets as a source of medicinal plants in Colombia, comparatively little comparative research reports on the pharmacopoeiae sold. This stands in contrast to wealth of available information for other components of plant use in Colombia and other countries. The present provides a detailed inventory of the medicinal plant markets in the Bogotá metropolitan area, hypothesizing that the species composition,…
Traditional knowledge hiding in plain sight - twenty-first century ethnobotany of the Chácobo in Beni, Bolivia
BACKGROUND: The Chácobo are a Panoan speaking tribe of about 1000 members (300+ adults) in Beni, Bolivia. Originally nomadic, the Chácabo were relocated to their current main location in the 1960s. Researchers have visited the Chácabo since 1911. A first more detailed anthropological report exists from the late 1960s, and ecological-ethnobotanical studies were conducted in the 1980s and 1990s. The presented work represents a complete ethnobotanic…
