摘要
本研究调查了尼日利亚一种濒危树种 Afzelia africana Sm.在尼日利亚奥贡州名为 Ijebu Igbo 的当地社区,通过半结构式问卷进行了民族植物学调查,共访问了该社区的 60 名受访者。草药学家、工匠、伊斯兰学者、商人和退休人员接受了访谈,以记录他们对非洲菊用途的了解。这项研究表明,非洲杉有不同的用途,其中最主要的是精神和医药用途。不可持续地采伐非洲杉用于这些用途将加剧非洲杉数量的减少,从而增加其灭绝的风险。本研究建议当地原住民了解以可持续方式利用该物种的可能途径,以防止其灭绝。
Utilization of Afzelia africana Sm. ex Pers. (Magnoliopsida: Fabales: Fabaceae) in Nigeria and its implications for conservation
This study investigated the ethnobotanical uses of Afzelia africana Sm. ex Pers., a threatened tree species in Nigeria to determine the impact of uses of this species on the risk of its extinction. Ethnobotanical surveys were conducted by means of semi-structured questionnaires with the local community called Ijebu Igbo in Ogun state of Nigeria and a total of 60 respondents were interviewed from this community. Herbalists, artisans, Islamic scholars, traders, and retirees were interviewed to document their knowledge of the uses of A. africana. This study revealed that there are different uses of A. africana, among which its spiritual and medicinal uses were the most dominant. An unsustainable harvest of A. africana for these uses will aggravate the decline of its population, thereby increasing the risk of extinction. This study recommends local awareness of the indigenous people of possible ways this species can be utilized in a sustainable manner to prevent its extinction.
