Abstract
ABSTRACT The importance of the traditional knowledge of ethnic tribal people using plants for treatments of diseases has become very significant for future benefit of the human society. A field work was conducted among the ethnic tribal locality of Barpeta District of Assam, India during the year 2014-15. The local practitioners (known as “Bez”) and aged persons of the community were consulted during the survey period. The survey revealed about the use of more than 66 plant species in several combination for the treatments of different diseases in the area. Several medicinal plants have been assessed as endangered, vulnerable and threatened due to over harvesting or unskilful harvesting in the wild. Habitat destruction in the form of deforestation is an added danger. Now these valuable bio-resources of the area need to be conserved and people should be trained in good harvest practice and post-harvest technology, otherwise, the resources will extinct gradually in future. Key words: Traditional, Ethnic, Over exploitation, Deforestation, Conservation.
