About the Book

Community Based Floodplain Resources Management Project of the Sustainable Environment Management Programme (SEMP) has undertaken conservation of medicinal plants in the several floodplains of Bangladesh in association with Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies and Nature Conservation Management (NACOM). This initiative involved the collection of baseline data on medicinal plants, motivating people toward the uses and practices, identification and knowledge sharing with the traditional healers and carrying out of specific conservation measures.
