The objective of the present project is to conduct ethnobotanical surveys focus on the complex connection between local inhabitants and local plants, including practices and cultural beliefs associated with different forms of uses. In earlier times their sole source of health care was medicinal plants from the forests. Due to shift in their life style (from hunter-gatherer to sedentary) the community came in regular contact with outsiders and gradually stopped using their traditional medicinal knowledge and slowly become depended on modern medicines. To transfer this traditional knowledge to next generation it is important to document and preserve it.
