Herbariums

As part of the Tookit of transformative practices of the Bodynet-Khoros project we have started a series of herbariums documenting eatable, medicinal and other uses of wild plants in a numer of environments, linked to the study of the ecosystems, their functioning and the threats they have due to dominant human agency, all of it as part of a systemic change towards a renewal of nomad gatherer cultures and rewilding, reenlivening traditional knowledges and studying ethnobotanics.

Ecological tools for knowledge of environments, eatable plants, outdoors living and systemic change towards sustainable lives.
