Transformation among Bhil Tribe: Loss of Ethnobotanical knowledge
Authors
Anita Jain, Manjit Singh
Abstract

This study is a small attempt to deal with the finding of factors responsible for transformation among Bhils which is with passing time is slackening the string of Ethnobotanical knowledge.

In the present study, an attempt has also been made to document the reasons for the loss of ethnobotanical knowledge in Bhils. Some of the reasons enlisted are: Loss of forest area fragmentation of habitat, invasion of foreign species and increase in agriculture practices among the tribal people, loss of biodiversity which had caused alteration in the choice of plants available for the Bhils for their food, fodder, medicinal and other uses this study raises the questions that if due to huge force of transformation, Bhils themselves continue to expunge their knowledge, then how traditional Ethnobotanical knowledge would help mankind and emphasis on the idea that maintaining cultural transformation is the need of the hour to save their existence and aid mankind.
