Abstract
Sacred groves, remnants of ancient ecological
practices, are vital repositories of biodiversity and cultural heritage. This
study investigates the floristic diversity of the Sri Sri Dhara Paidithalli
Gangamma Ammavaru sacred grove in Kothavalsa Mandal, Vizianagaram District,
Andhra Pradesh, India. A comprehensive survey revealed 46 plant species
belonging to 44 genera and 25 families, indicating significant floristic
richness within the 3-acre grove. The grove's ecological and cultural
significance is highlighted, emphasizing the need for effective conservation
strategies to address threats such as invasive alien species and anthropogenic
pressures.
