| description | Within the framework of living resource conservation as advocated by the world Conservation Strategy, this case study investigates the utilitarian value of indigenous plant resources as a supplementary or "hidden" income for a rural community at Heuningvlei. The objectives of the study were to document the rapidly disappearing customary knowledge regarding the utilisation of plant resources, to gain an indication of whether a sustainable method of utilisation exists within the case study community, and to interpret the results in terms of conservation objectives. |
