Ethnobiological Research

Ethnobiological research studies how different cultures understand and interact with the plants, animals, and ecosystems around them. It explores traditional knowledge about local species, including their uses for medicine, food, or spiritual practices, and how cultural practices influence ecosystems. This research helps preserve indigenous knowledge, promotes sustainable use of biodiversity, and provides insights into natural resource management from a cultural perspective. It combines biology, anthropology, and ecology to understand the relationship between communities and their environment, fostering respect for cultural diversity and promoting conservation.
