Study of Tribal Indigenous Knowledge to Keep the Balance in Eco System with Natural Resources

Abstract

Natural resources are better to keep the environmental balance if more natural resources are used in daily life such as home decoration, to prevent the diseases as the natural resources are easily decomposed to the environment when it becomes the waste material. To fulfill these purpose, we can follow the natural resource management knowledge from the tribal. Specially medicinal plant uses in tribal daily life, their technique to keep the wild life, woods, soil, landscape etc. by their different rituals. In our daily life we can replaced the plastic materials or any other non eco- friendly materials by bamboo or different grass/trees for basket, home decorative items, fences etc. Artificial colors, food items make serious health hazard but from the Tribal Knowledge these things replace by different natural resources. Down graded and vulnerable tribal communities make almost 10% of the enormous population. Tribals solved their many problems with their Indigenous Knowledge. The present study describes the importance of tribal Indigenous Knowledge to keep the balance of eco system. The study was solely based on secondary data. The information was gathered from different books, journals, internet and personal collection. Data were collected according to the requirement of fulfillment of objectives.
