preservation of indigenous cultures is also strcssed in light of the fact thatthe population size of Amazonian Indians has fallcn from over 6 millon to 200.000 in thc last 500 ycarssincc colonisation bcgan.Thc contribution of ethnobotany to conscrvation touches on all thrcc aspccts ofbiodiversity,spccics divcrsity,genctic divcrsity and habitat diversity.Traditional cthnobotany involvedwith the cataloguing of species used by local pcoplcs is a spccics based approach.Rccent data on quanti-tative cthnobotany from sevcral Amazonian tribcs has provided more structured data and has shown thecnormous cxtcnt to which Amazonian Indians usc the forest trces,for example,onc hundrcd per cent ofthe trees on a hectarc in thc case of the Ka'apor Indians.Thc study of the huge number of varicties ofcach cultivatcd crop shows that thc local pcople use a wide range of gcnctic divcrsity.For examplc theTukano Indians recognisc 137 namcd varicties of cassava.This maintenancc and use of genctic diversitycontrasts with modern agriculturc that uses few varieties and is diseasc pronc.Local pcoplcs are also acu-tely awarc of habitat diffcrent ways.This includes both natural vegetation
