Biodiversity and Ethnobotanical Uses of Medicinal Plants from the Northern Black Sea Coastal Wetlands /// Биоразнообразие и приложение на лекарствените растения от Северно-Черноморските влажни зони в етноботаниката

Biodiversity studies on the medicinal plants in any given country is the first important step in carrying out resource-saving research on the conservation and rational use of this resource. Alongside this, it is the basis of ethnobotanical studies to document and safeguard knowledge on medicinal plants and the nexus to the customs and culture of local communities. Subject of study are the Northern Black Sea Coastal Wetlands areas: the Durankulak Lake protected area, Shabla-Ezeretz Lake Complex protected area and the Kamchia nature complex. They are an important moulding factor contributing to the existence of a rich and varied flora including a wide variety of medicinal plants which have not yet been fully explored. Our objectives have been defined in view of the conservation and rational use of this biological resource: to study the biodiversity of medicinal plants of the Northern Black Sea Coastal Wetlands, their taxonomic, phytogeographical and ecological structure, conservation status; to create database of the groups of plants according to their healing activity and usable parts; to conduct an ethnobotanical study of the current state of traditional knowledge of medicinal plants and their uses by the local population.
