American Society of Ethnobiology

The American Society of Ethnobiology (ASE) is an organization dedicated to the study of the relationships between people and the biological world, particularly how different cultures use and understand plants and animals. It brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners interested in topics like traditional medicine, sustainable use of resources, and cultural practices related to biodiversity. By fostering collaboration and sharing knowledge, the ASE aims to promote awareness of the importance of ethnobiology in addressing contemporary environmental and social challenges. The society also supports education and outreach efforts to enhance understanding of these vital connections.
