4. STUDY AREA
 Sathan Gali lies in District Mansehra
34º-14´ to 35º-11´ North latitude 72º-49´ to 74º-08´ East
longitude
 Altitude 1600 to 2400m a.s.l
 Most of the Study area lies in moist temperate zone
(Champion et al., 1965; Khan et al.,2016)
INTRODUCTION

5.  Plants are essential to almost all living organisms
on the earth, providing shelter and food.
 Ethnobotany explains the relationships that exist
between people and plants (Harshberger, 1895).

Our study based on the following research
questions.
Question No.1: Is the study area ethno botanically
unexplored?
Question No.2: Are anthropogenic influences the main
cause of declining floristic diversity?

9. To document the floristic composition of the study area
 To record the ethnomedicinal uses of plant species of the
study area
OBJECTIVES
9

10. MATERIALS AND METHODS
 GPS, polythene bags, twig cutter, field pressor,
digital camera and field note book
 Frequent visits to field area were carried out
during flowering and fruiting seasons
 Semi-structured questionnaire method was used
 Local uses of the plants were got through random
sampling by interviewing nomads, local
inhabitants from various walks of life, different
age group and gender
10

11.  Plant specimens were collected, dried, poisoned,
preserved and mounted on standard herbarium
sheets
 Plant species identified with the help of available
literature (Nasir & Ali, 1971-1999, Ali & Qaisar,
1995-2009)

17. RECOMMENDATIONS
 Conservation measures should be taken where
plant resources especially medicinal plants are
under sever anthropogenic pressure
 Proper management system should be
implemented to avoid overgrazing
17

18.  Using current research as a base line further
researches in the fields of phytochemistry, plant
taxonomy, plant ecology, pharmacognosy etc.,
should be initiated
 Awareness campaign should be initiated regarding
the collection of medicinal plants
