Natural resources and associated biological diversity provide the
basis of livelihood for human population, particularly in the rural
areas and mountain regions across the globe. Asia is home to the
world's highest mountain regions including the Himalayas, Karakorum
and Hindukush. These regions are renowned around the globe because
of their unique beauty, climate, and biocultural diversity. Because
of geoclimatic conditions, the mountains of Asia are medicinal and
food plant diversity hot spots. The indigenous communities residing
in the valleys of these mountains have their own culture and
traditions, and have a long history of interaction with the
surrounding plant diversity. Local inhabitants of these mountains
areas possess significant traditional knowledge of plant species
used as food, medicine, and for cultural purposes. So far, many
workers have reported traditional uses of plant species from
different regions of Asia including some mountain areas; however,
there is not one inclusive document on the ethnobotany of mountains
in Asia. This book provides a comprehensive overview on
ethno-ecological knowledge and cross cultural variation in the
application of plant species among various communities residing in
the mountains of Asia; cross cultural variation in traditional uses
of plant species by the mountain communities; high value medicinal
and food plant species; and threats and conservation status of
plant species and traditional knowledge. This book should be useful
to researchers of biodiversity and conservation, ethnobiologists,
ethnoecologists, naturalists, phytochemists, pharmacists, policy
makers, and all who have a devotion to nature.
