Ethnobotany, the study of the classification, use and management of
plants by people, draws on a range of disciplines, including
natural and social sciences, to show how conservation of plants and
of local knowledge about them can be achieved. Ethnobotany is
critical to the growing importance of developing new crops and
products such as drugs from traditional plants. This book is the
basic introduction to the field, showing how botany, anthropology,
ecology, economics and linguistics are all employed in the
techniques and methods involved. It explains data collection and
hypothesis testing and provides practical ideas on fieldwork ethics
and the application of results to conservation and community
development. Case studies illustrate the explanations,
demonstrating the importance of collaboration in achieving results.
