Abstract
When designing an ethnobotanical project, it is important to define what you wish to achieve and then to select the approach which best suits your interests, budget and schedule. It is easy to be overly enthusiastic about what can be accomplished in a short field season. Once the project begins, you discover the complexity of local ecological knowledge and the diversity of the flora and fauna. You experience unforseen delays caused by the weather, equipment failure and other events beyond your control.
