Means of information & news in tribal areas: a case study
Keywords:
Tribal Region, Z scoreAbstract
It is already common knowledge that medicinal plants play an essential role in both modern medicine and the preservation of biodiversity. However, in many remote regions of the Himalaya, knowledge of the medicinal properties of local plants is limited to rumour. With this in mind, the present investigation was launched in a western Himalayan region populated by indigenous peoples. The purpose of the research was to catalogue the wide variety of plants employed by locals in the treatment of illness. Information on plant usage was sought using questionnaire surveys, participant observations, and field trips. Thirty-five plant species were identified as being often utilised by locals as remedies for a wide range of illnesses. About half of the time, the plant's underground parts were put to good use.
