Abstract

The Forest of the Bastar region is endowed with a variety of medicinal flora, the tribal population dwell inside the forest and collects a variety of medicinal and drug-yielding plants. Overexploitation in an unscientific manner has resulted in the extinction of many important medicinal plants and some are on the verge of extinction. In this context, there is an urgent need for conducting ethnomedicinal forest surveys and documenting the important drug-yielding plants along with their therapeutic uses. The indigenous technical knowledge of tribal populations regarding the utilization of different plant products for curing various diseases needs to be documented since the valuable information is gradually lost in successive generations. The Present paper attempts to develop participatory approaches among the tribes of the Darbah block of Bastar for scientific utilization and conservation of Ethno medicinal flora of the region in a sustainable manner.
