Working Papers

The papers in this series provide information on specific case studies in ethnobotany, usually relating to fieldwork projects undertaken by People and Plants researchers and local experts.

Working Papers are published in English, and some also in other languages, such as French (F) and Spanish (S). Most are available in HTML or PDF format. If you have difficulty accessing the PDFs (which may take a while), you may need to download Acrobat Reader from the Adobe website.
