Key Words: Traditional homesteads, Rare, Endangered, Threatened and Endemic plant speciesAbstract
ABSTRACT:
A survey of rare, endangered, threatened and endemic plant species present in the homesteads of ??15 Khampti community villages of Namsai district was done during 2019-2020.The objective of the ?study was to know the extent of conservation of RET & E species in the traditional Khampti ?homesteads and to evaluate the traditional uses of those species for why those species were being ?sheltered in their homesteads. The study documented 48 threatened plant species from their ?homestead gardens belongs to 35 plant families. Most importantly, among them 4 species were ?critically endangered, 6 were endangered, 1 data deficient, 1 rare and another 1 plant species was ?extinct in wild. Apart from that 18 plant species were near to threatened and 12 plant species were ?vulnerable. Of these plant species 39 were utilized for traditional medicine and other 9 were ?edible, timber or fuel wood species. As such home gardens of Khampti community have been ?playing a vital role by sheltering and by virtue conservation RET & E species?.
