Home Discussion Forum Ethnobotany Links "The role of plants in society" Saturday March 15, 2003. Beware the Ides of March! The forums are back up! If you thought you were going to a Canadian commercial site, you might actually have been looking for Ethnogarden Botanicals . Tell them we sent you! -G- Ethnobotany has many different definitions. The most widely accepted and used is "the use of plants in primitive societies". Richard Evans Schultes, one of the modern fathers of ethnobotany expands upon this definition defining ethnobotany as "the study of human evaluation and manipulation of plant materials, substances, and phenomenon, including relevant concepts, in primitive or unlettered societies." Important concepts in ethnobotany today also include economic botany, sustainable harvesting (ethical wildcrafting ), ethics and intellectual property rights, and as a representational voice for the cultures where the field work is done. As a field of research and study, ethnobotany is an interdisciplinary approach using botany, anthropology, history, chemistry, and many others. The ethnobotany garden is a community of people looking for plant knowledge of all kinds. Please check back often as we will be continually working on this site. We have the Forums up, please feel free to post away.

ETHNOBOTANY OF WILD PLANT FOODS by: Sarah Mason Ethnobotany is the study of the use of plants by people, and can draw on many sources ranging from anthropological or ethnobotanical studies of current plant use by existing peoples, through documentary and historical sources (travellers' tales, writings of the Classical authors, Mediaeval Herbals, etc.), to present-day cookery or woodworking books, to give a few examples. Ethnobotany is a burgeoning field, as evidenced by the vast number of general handbooks on the subject which have appeared recently, though much interest is focused on such commercially-viable fields as ethnopharmacology (or medicinal plant use - for info on an interesting and informative mailing list related to this topic visit the Phytopharmacognosy list Home Page , or on 'fundable' topics such as studies of biodiversity. Along with an increasing awareness of the value of what is often rapidly-disappearing indigenous or traditional knowledge of the uses of plants, there is an increasing awareness of the need by those who wish to obtain ethnobotanical data from cultures other than their own to take account of 'indigenous property rights' (IPR), and to respect the 'ownership' of such cultural or traditional knowledge - the Society of Ethnobiology (see Ethnobotany Links, below), for instance, now has a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice which covers this. A number of Internet links exist dealing with both the practical and ethical aspects 'of indigenous' (IK) or 'traditional environmental knowledge' (TEK), and can be useful online sources for ethnobotany (see also my

11. Sacred Earth - Ethnobotany & Ecotravel: All The Earth Is Sacred These page are intended as a brief introduction to ethnobotany. We hope to inform and provide resources for teachers and students as well as lay people who http://www.sacredearth.com/ethnobotany.htm

ALL THE EARTH IS SACRED In classical Greek mythology, the Earth-Goddess Gaia brought forth all life on planet Earth. All the different species of fungi, plants, animals, insects and fish were her children, yet also a part of her body. Gaia breathed life into them all, and all were equally important. An interrelated web of life, each species dependent on all others. From her, all live proceeded and to her all must return. She was the womb and the tomb of life. This co-evolutionary vision of life recognizes nature itself as the source and sustainer of all existence, the central hub of the wheel on which all the individual strands of life depend. Without her all encompassing nurturing, life would not be possible at all. This ancient story is echoed in mythologies around the world. It stems from a time long ago, when mankind still had awe and respect for the forces of nature. But then a new belief spread like a cancer across the surface of the earth, deeming mankind to be the pinnacle of creation and demanding that we should take dominion over the earth, and over all that there creepeth... 2000 years later our inheritance is a world of exploitation in which other species are primarily considered for their economic value and everything is up for grabs, for a price, of course. We no longer even respect the God that once upon a time had installed such megaglomanic desires in our souls. Nowadays, we respect no gods at all no more, neither ancient earth goddesses, nor moralistic father gods - our only belief is money, and as for omnipotence - well, we call that science.

AN INTRODUCTION TO ETHNOBOTANY Connie Veilleux and Steven R.King, Ph.D. Linda Morganstein, editor Shaman Pharmaceuticals, Inc. work interdisciplinary to discover new drugs. Photo by Steven R. King, 1996. Since the beginning of civilization, people have used plants as medicine. Perhaps as early as Neanderthal man, plants were believed to have healing powers. The earliest recorded uses are found in Babylon circa 1770 BC in the Code of Hammurabi and in ancient Egypt circa 1550 B.C. In fact, ancient Egyptians believed medicinal plants to have utility even in the afterlife of their pharaohs. Plants have been recovered from the Giza pyramids and can be found on display in a dark corner of t Access Excellence Resource Center he Cairo Museum. A discussion of human life on this planet would not be complete without a look at the role of plants. A complete record of the many thousands of plant species used for human functioning would fill volumes, yet historians have often tended "to dismiss plants as less than fundamental in history." In recent years, however, there has been a reawakened scientific interest in the fundamental role plants play in many cultures, including medicinal purposes.
