01 Description of Research

My research activities center around the value of local resources, exploring the nexus between biodiversity-health/well-being-community and how these are valued in contemporary society. In the doctoral dissertation, I explored the value of biodiversity of traditional medicines (medicinal plants) in Indonesia’s context of intercultural health practice using multi-disciplinary approaches. I was also recently involved in an ethnobotanical study assessing the diversity and utilization of wild edible fruits of eastern Bhutan. My research interest also lies in the mediation aspects of biodiversity use. At Tokyo college, I plan to continue exploring the medicinal plants topic from the perspectives of mediation its knowledge commons.
