Traditional Knowledge Erosion
A quantitative study was carried out during July-August 2013 in four locations,covering eight traditional communities within the recently designated UNESCO Natural Heritage Site: the Western Ghats, India. The communities studied were: Kurichiar and Kattunayakar (Wayanad), Cholanaikar and Paniyar(Malappuram), Irula and Kurumba (Palakkad) and Kanikar and Malapandarm (Quilon).
Mapping Traditional Knowledge
The traditional knowledge mapping of Celastrus paniculatus in India using Geographical Information System (GIS) collects and compiles the data about the use and distribution status of C. paniculatus in India. This review provides an idea about the status of C. paniculatus in India and aims to make awareness about the conservation of such traditionally and ethnomedicinally important species.
Ethnobotany and distribution status
In view of the ethnomedicinal importance of the Ensete superbum, an endemic species of India, this review is an attempt to introduce the traditional knowledge mapping framework that compiles all available information reported on ethnobotanical uses and distribution status of the species. The study intends to draw attention of scientific communities towards conserving E. superbum and associated traditional knowledge.
Spatial documentation of ethnic medicinal uses
The traditional knowledge mapping of Bacopa monnieri in India using geographical information system (GIS) collects and compilesthe data about the use and distribution status of B.monnieri in India. The present reviews give an idea about the ethno medicinal importance of B.monnieri. This review provides an idea about the status of B. monnieri in India and aims to make awareness about the conservation of such traditionally and ethno medicinally important species.
