Ethnobotany
Ethnobotany is the science that studies the relationship between the people and the botany
throughout history. This science is known for researching and studying the knowledge that ethnic
groups, societies and all the cultures around the world have about the properties and the use of
plants in their daily lives. It examines the relationship humanity - plant, analizing the
combination of ecological, botanical and anthropological, establishing this like a source of
valuable information for Agriculture and Medicine.
The ecology, conservation and protection or the use of plants are understood from the various
practical approaches of ethnobotany sciences. Ethnobotany Research helps recognize those plant
species endangered to provide adequate protection. The ethnobotanical research is necessary as it
helps to gather information about vegetative properties of endangered cultures and promotes the
domestication of new plants that are useful, keeping those plants that have a genetic plasma that
is economically promising.
Ethnobotany is a scientific discipline that is used to study and interpret the history of plants and
their relation to past and present societies. From the information collection on knowledge and
use applied to different vegetative species by all societies and scientific research can be found
the properties of plants, to establish a useful and beneficial source for agriculture and the
pharmaceutical industry. We conclude that ethnobotany is the study of traditional plants whose
purpose is to discover and provide information on the usefulness of botany in the various fields
of human beings.
