Journal of the Indian Law InstituteSummary: Traditional knowledge (hereafter TK) based on medicinal plants has been recognized as one of the important assets inherited through generations by the local communities. Such knowledge is generally passed down to the next generation verbally, in the form of odes, poems, songs or myths and others. There is neither any documentation form of it nor is scientifically experimented but has been used by generations. However, due to an increase in population, deforestation, roads and railways, urbanization and unsustainable harvesting and collection from the wild, many useful plant species along with their uses are disappearing rapidly. Unsustainable and injudicious extractions of these medicinal plants have pushed some of the important species towards extinction.TK have been exploited by pharmaceutical companies or bio-pirated, thereby harming the interest of indigenous people to whom such knowledge is regarded as their identity. In this paper the researchers made case studies on medicinal plants available at Baririjo circle of Upper Subansiri district in Arunachal Pradesh. The paper also deals with initiatives of government to protect medicinal plants and international conventions and legislations onTK and medicinal plants. Reproduced
