Useful plants of the Alangan Mangyan of Halcon range, Mindoro island, Philippines
The study documented the useful plants of the Alangan Mangyan community in Paitan, Naujan, Mindoro Island, Philippines. The Alangan knowledge on plant use is vital in biodiversity conservation of the island. Thus, this knowledge must be considered in the formation of inclusive local policies to safeguard the sustainability of their practices. Intergenerational transmission of their knowledge on plant use is also critical in preserving the Alangan culture.
