Ethno-biology

Ethno-biology is the study of how different cultures and communities understand, classify, and interact with the plants, animals, and natural environments around them. It explores traditional knowledge about the uses, significance, and ecological relationships of species, often revealing insights into sustainable practices and cultural identity. By examining these indigenous perceptions and practices, ethno-biology helps us appreciate the diversity of human-environment connections and can inform conservation efforts and biodiversity management through traditional wisdom.
