| Abstract: | Wetlands are ecologically critical ecosystems that harbor rich biodiversity and sustain a wide range of cultural practices. In rural Bengal, particularly in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal, wetlands serve not only as ecological hotspots but also as vital reservoirs of traditional ethnobotanical knowledge. This present work investigates the ethnobotanical relevance of twenty aquatic and semi-aquatic plant species across three wetlands named Bistupur Bill, Chatrar Bill, and Dhopghati—situated in the Berhampore subdivision, Murshidabad. Through a combination of ecological field surveys and structured interviews with local communities, including traditional healers and elders, the research documents how these aquatic species are used in folk medicine, daily sustenance, spiritual rituals, and ecological practices. Noteworthy species such as Centella asiatica, Bacopa monnieri, and Trapa bispinosa are widely used for their medicinal properties, while others like Typha angustifolia and Eichhornia crassipes play roles in craft-making and environmental management. The findings highlight both the functional and symbolic value of wetland flora, emphasizing the intricate relationship between community livelihood and ecological stewardship. However, this biocultural knowledge is increasingly threatened by urbanization, pollution, and habitat degradation. The study underscores the urgency of conserving both the wetland ecosystems and the intangible cultural heritage embedded within them. By systematically documenting these practices, the research aims to contribute to ethnobotanical preservation, environmental policy discourse, and sustainable wetland management strategies in Eastern India. |
