Scientific Study from the year 2008 in the subject Environmental
Sciences, grade: none, Vrije University Brussel (Human Ecology
Department), 32 entries in the bibliography, language: English,
abstract: An ethonobotanical study was conducted to document the
traditional use of plants and to find out the potential economic
value of plants used by the indigenous 'Bankariya' people of
Central Nepal. Personal interviews and group discussions were
conducted to gather information on the indigenous knowledge of this
ethnic group. A checklist of 'categories of plant use' was
developed and used to identify, categorize and document plant
species in the Twanrakhola community. Altogether, 109 plant species
belonging to 49 families and 84 genera used for a wide range of
purposes in the community are recorded. The people are highly
dependent on forest and forest products. Because of their long
experience with forests, the 'Bankariya' people have acquired rich
knowledge about the utilization of plant resources in various ways.
The Twanrakhola community harbours a high diversity of medicinal
plants and wild edible plants. Despite the gradual economic and
socio-cultural transformation in the life style of the community
members because of globalisation, the Bankariya people still
possess substantial knowledge of plants and their uses. Sustainable
harvesting of and trade in medicinal and wild edible plants could
be a significant source of subsistence and income generation for
the local population.
