  • Medicinal Ethnobotany of Wild Plants
    Kazancı et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2020) 16:71 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-020-00415-y RESEARCH Open Access Medicinal ethnobotany of wild plants: a cross-cultural comparison around Georgia- Turkey border, the Western Lesser Caucasus Ceren Kazancı1* , Soner Oruç2 and Marine Mosulishvili1 Abstract Background: The Mountains of the Western Lesser Caucasus with its rich plant diversity, multicultural and multilingual nature host diverse ethnobotanical knowledge related to medicinal plants. However, cross-cultural medicinal ethnobotany and patterns of plant knowledge have not yet been investigated in the region. Doing so could highlight the salient medicinal plant species and show the variations between communities. This study aimed to determine and discuss the similarities and differences of medicinal ethnobotany among people living in highland pastures on both sides of the Georgia-Turkey border. Methods: During the 2017 and 2018 summer transhumance period, 119 participants (74 in Turkey, 45 in Georgia) were interviewed with semi-structured questions. The data was structured in use-reports (URs) following the ICPC classification. Cultural Importance (CI) Index, informant consensus factor (FIC), shared/separate species-use combinations, as well as literature data were used for comparing medicinal ethnobotany of the communities. Results: One thousand five hundred six UR for 152 native wild plant species were documented. More than half of the species are in common on both sides of the border. Out of 817 species-use combinations, only 9% of the use incidences are shared between communities across the border. Around 66% of these reports had not been previously mentioned specifically in the compared literature.

  • Media Reports on Wildfires in Georgia 2017
    Wildfires in Georgia 2017 Fire devastates mountain overlooking Tbilisi 09 August 2017 by DFWATCH STAFF A massive fire spread on the slopes of Mtatsminda, a mountain overlooking Tbilisi on Tuesday late evening. No casualties have been reported so far. By midnight firefighters’ squads reported that all hotbeds had been ‘localized’ and the threat of the fire spreading on Tbilisi neighborhoods or villages over hill had been prevented. The fire mainly spread over the pine groves and shrubbery that cover Mtatsminda slopes and hasn’t touched neighborhoods. Altogether the fire was estimated to be about two hectares. Over 70 fire-fighters have been rushed to the scene. Dozens of locals joined them in an effort to prevent fire to spread on their neighborhoods. Mtatsminda Entertainment Park, a major tourist destination of Georgia’s capital, hasn’t been damaged. The police have launched formal investigation into the case, yet it is still unclear whether the fire had been caused by arson. Source: http://dfwatch.net/fire-devastates-mountain-overlooking-tbilisi-49034 Forest Blaze on Mtatsminda Mount, Tbilisi 09 August 2017 The Prime Minister of Georgia, Giorgi Kvirikashvili has released a statement and thanked the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) and the Emergency Situations Management Agency for their hard and operational work while extinguishing fire at Mtatsminda district. "I would like to express my gratitude to the MIA Emergency Management Agency, firefighters and rescuers for very operative work. They managed to localize and then extinguish the fire in the Mtatsminda district, which has very difficult landscape, in the shortest period of time," the statement reads.
