  • Ethnobiology of Georgia
    SHOTA TUSTAVELI ZAAL KIKVIDZE NATIONAL SCIENCE FUNDATION ILIA STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS ETHNOBIOLOGY OF GEORGIA ISBN 978-9941-18-350-8 Tbilisi 2020 Ethnobiology of Georgia 2020 Zaal Kikvidze Preface My full-time dedication to ethnobiology started in 2012, since when it has never failed to fascinate me. Ethnobiology is a relatively young science with many blank areas still in its landscape, which is, perhaps, good motivation to write a synthetic text aimed at bridging the existing gaps. At this stage, however, an exhaustive representation of materials relevant to the ethnobiology of Georgia would be an insurmountable task for one author. My goal, rather, is to provide students and researchers with an introduction to my country’s ethnobiology. This book, therefore, is about the key traditions that have developed over a long history of interactions between humans and nature in Georgia, as documented by modern ethnobiologists. Acknowledgements: I am grateful to my colleagues – Rainer Bussmann, Narel Paniagua Zambrana, David Kikodze and Shalva Sikharulidze for the exciting and fruitful discussions about ethnobiology, and their encouragement for pushing forth this project. Rainer Bussmann read the early draft of this text and I am grateful for his valuable comments. Special thanks are due to Jana Ekhvaia, for her crucial contribution as project coordinator and I greatly appreciate the constant support from the staff and administration of Ilia State University. Finally, I am indebted to my fairy wordmother, Kate Hughes whose help was indispensable at the later stages of preparation of this manuscript. 2 Table of contents Preface.......................................................................................................................................................... 2 Chapter 1.

  • Georgia Greentours Itinerary Wildlife Holiday Botanical Tour Birdwatching
    Georgia A Greentours Itinerary Days 1 & 2 Davit Gareja We leave the UK in the afternoon bound for Istanbul from where we'll pick uo our connection to Tbilisi, landing there early in the morning. Note that there are now flights from Edinburgh, Manchester and Birmingham which follow the same routing. Open steppe country with rolling grasslands covered in shimmering stipa grasses stretches southwest from the airport. There is only one road, a few tracks, and hardly any settlements. Occasional early Christian churches interrupt the landscape, some of these, such as the one at Davit Gareja, world-famous. Natlismtsemeli Church is fantastically situated on an eroded bluff above unspoilt steppe rich in beautiful plants. The spectacular Dictamnus caucasicus dominates along with orange Colutea lutea and the stunning Verbascum formosum. The last blooms of Iris pumila can be found amongst Celsia orientalis and the endemic Thymus tiflisensis. Flocks of Rose-colored Starlings make sorties past us as Griffon Vultures hang low in the air. Amongst Campanula hohenackeri and large pink- flowered endemic Salvia garejii fly plenty of butterflies and garnering nourishment from the many knapweeds on show is the bizarre scarlet Phelypaea coccinea. Day 3 - 5 The Greater Caucasus – Gudauri, Cross Pass and Truso Gorge The impressively high snowy peaks of the Greater Caucasus are visible even as one drives out of Tbilisi. Within an hour we are rising steadily up the Aragvi Valley and into the heart of these great mountains. Higher than the European Alps and much less populated, this is a truly wild region. Once up into the mountains we’ll pass few settlements until we reach the ski resort at Gudauri.
