To many Ethnobotanist, loss of knowledge of plants is a critical problem as the loss of plant diversity itself. But unfortunately, this decline is not limited to one culture or tribe or nation. It is an universal issue related to Ethnobotany. Also, under the pressure of modernization, wearing a way of traditional knowledge is occurring throughout the world with an alarming rate. Elders themselves often feel sad that younger generation seems uninterested in their own culture and heritage. They look for someone who can preserve the old knowledge before it dies out forever through Ethnobotany knowledge.
