How quickly medicinal plants grow after harvest is determined through the ethnobotanical reserve project. Ethnobotanical reserve is finding the uses of plants for medicinal and cultural fields. The destruction of plants by human through the activities like deforestation, logging etc. controlled here.
An ethnologist work in such areas to study the use of different plans in that community. For that they conduct a survey with those people and understand the common diseases without using any biological terms. For understanding the local people use a mediator. Ethnologist study different field in biology and in chemistry, ecology, archeology etc. Before go to that area study these sciences in graduate course. After that some months training is necessary to deal with the particular group of healers. For convey them you can use pictures of diseases. Studying some local words will also help you a lot.
