Humans Shaping a Landscape - Ethnobiology, Hunting Traditions, and Wildlife Conservation of Diverse Language Communities in the Indus Kohistan, Pakistan
Ethnobotanical profile of plant resources utilized by local communities in the Trans-Himalayan Region
Background: Plant resources are important sources of livelihood needs, especially for low-income populations living in remote isolated mountain areas, which rely on these plants for food, fuel wood, medicine and building materials. However, traditional knowledge about plant resources is site-specific and passed down orally through generations. Therefore, there is an urgent need to document the traditional ethnobotanical knowledge of these isolate…
Gendered ethnobotanical practices and their influence on livelihoods
Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are acknowledged for supporting rural livelihoods and forest conservation. Identifying potential species with commercial value and establishing sustainable management practices for NTFPs require an analysis of their use patterns by local communities and trends on a regional scale. We analyzed traditional use patterns, trends, and economic value of NTFPs around the fringe three villages around the Ayubia National…
Ethno-ornithology, Hunting and Conservation of Wild Birds in Kashmir Himalayas, India
The shifting dynamics of plant and mushroom foraging in Kashmir
The commodification and mobility of food ingredients have altered local practices, particularly in preparing Dryopteris, Diplazium, Pteridium, and Morchella. Preserving biocultural heritage and promoting sustainable foraging practices can enhance economic growth, food security, and rural development by safeguarding plant knowledge and encouraging commercial cultivation
Exploration of the ecology and ex-situ conservation of Betula utilis D. Don
The global mean temperature is rising at an unprecedented rate, and the investigation of ecosystem functioning and phenological events offered some of the most compelling evidence for the impact of these changes on plant species in alpine regions. The present study assessed the impact of topographic and edaphic factors on treeline structure/diversity, regeneration behavior, phenological characteristics, and ex-situ conservation of endemic and rel…
Food ethnobotany of forest resource in the high-altitude Himalaya Mountains
The nexus between ecology of foraging and food security
The older age group has more knowledge about WFPs compared to the younger generation, who are not interested in learning about the utilization of WFPs. This lack of interest in information about WFPs among the younger generation can be attributed to their limited access to markets and availability of food plants in the study area. Traditional gathering of food plants has been reduced in younger generations during recent years; therefore, it is cr…
Plant cultural indicators of forest resources from the Himalayan high mountains
Aim Biocultural legacy practices are intricately tied to forestry resources, ethnic identity, and social cohesiveness. This study aims to determine the plant cultural values of forest resources and identify plant cultural indicators in each ethnic group, which can aid in long-term natural resource management plans in the current debate on socio-environmental and ecological transitions. Methods Semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, …
Himalayan Apiaceae - A comprehensive ecological and ethnobotanical evaluation
Background: Taxonomic patterns of ethnobotanical uses of plants support the hypothesis that families with the most species richness will have a large number of valuable species. However, certain plant families (e.g., Apiaceae) with specific bioactive characteristics are underrepresented due to changes in the cultural relevance of native plant species. Thus, developing a biocultural conservation strategy may benefit from an awareness of plant usag…

Methods: The study participants were selected using random sampling techniques, and the…
Exploring the traditional knowledge and medicinal flora of the communities residing along North Eastern India-Pakistan borders
Background: Ethnobotanical studies underpin the understanding of plant-people interaction in any geographical area along with the conservation strategies and priorities. The current study was carried out in the marginalized communities residing along the North Eastern Indo-Pak border of Depalpur and its adjoining areas of the Punjab Province, Pakistan. Methods: Snow-ball and random sampling techniques were employed for study participants. They we…
A cross-cultural study of high-altitude botanical resources among diverse ethnic groups in Kashmir Himalaya, India
Background In the Himalayas, traditional knowledge and biodiversity are strongly linked due to the symbiotic interaction between plant and cultural diversity, as well as the support provided by cultural memories, ecological awareness, and social norms. Our study was focused on documenting the vanishing knowledge in the Kashmir Himalaya with the following main objectives: 1) to document the ethnomedical and cultural knowledge of the local flora, 2…
