| Abstract: |
Gujarat has rich traditional
knowledge associated with biodiversity. This indigenous knowledge has been
acquired over ages and treasured by the local communities and the tribals,
particularly those living in and around the forests and agro-ecosystems. Very
little of this knowledge has been documented which coupled with alienation of
younger generation from traditional lifestyles, further poses threat to its erosion. This paper briefly presents the extent
of the traditional knowledge available in Gujarat,
its contribution in biodiversity conservation and the threats of its erosion
under changing life-style.
