Abstract

Dorema aucheri Boiss is a perennial mono carpic species endemic to the southern parts of Iran. Traditionally, gums, young leaves and branches are used for medicinal and nutritional purposes. The gums are harvested for local and international trading. To get information about the conservation status of the species, we interviewed 27 indigenous informants from 12 villages around M. Hezar, S Iran. The main questions referred to the plant parts used, the type and frequency of harvesting and the effects of defoliation and gum harvesting in individual plants and populations. Furthermore, we were interested in the local income per person, the trade chain and the final products of Dorema aucheri used in foreign countries. The results indicate that gums were traditionally used as a poultice to treat skin cracks, but are now harvested mostly for trade.
