Respect knowledge.
Protect biodiversity.
Explore traditional-use records beside evidence quality, uncertainty and sustainable-harvest guidance.
Traditional use is not proof of safety or effectiveness. Consult qualified professionals and primary research.
CONSERVATION LENS
Regional collection pressure
A transparent prototype view combining habitat sensitivity, plant-part impact and evidence gaps.
Cultural sensitivity and habitat fragmentation require community-led safeguards.
Cultivation potential reduces pressure on wild populations.
pressure = part impact × wild reliance × habitat sensitivityScores are illustrative, not official conservation classifications.
RESPONSIBLE RESEARCH
How EthnoGuard handles knowledge
Every record separates cultural report, scientific evidence and inference.
Provenance first
Keep source, place, community context and access restrictions attached to every claim.
Evidence, not endorsement
Score study type, replication, sample quality and relevance—never convert tradition into a prescription.
Uncertainty visible
Show missing toxicity, dosage and interaction data instead of hiding gaps.
Community rights
Flag sensitive knowledge and support consent, attribution and benefit-sharing.
This prototype was AI-assisted. Plant records are demonstration summaries and must be validated against primary literature before research or policy use.
