Since this work involves collection of ethnobotanical knowledge base which is available only from few traditional healers, there is no possibility for increasing the number of people interviewed, in fact he has included all the available traditional healers from the selected villages. The data obtained from the census are cross referred with the data collected from traditional healers and confirmed. The declining trend in the tradition, by the modern facilities and exposure of the jobs outside the villages in the nearby town is the reason behind why the ethno botanical knowledge base is not common as reported by other workers. The study insists the need and importance of conservation of medicinal plants and ethnobotanical knowledge, since it is under great threats in the near future due to various factors ranges from absence of mother-child nexus to anthropogenic impacts in the study area. Hence by planning a proper set up of traditional school of ethnobotany along with herbal garden could conserve and document the remaining knowledge of traditional healers and ensure that the future generations will learn and keep the traditional heritage.
