<p>Since the beginning of humanity''s existence, plants have provided us with everything we need for our survival - they sustain us with air to breathe, food to eat, materials to make clothes and shelter with, and medicine to treat and prevent disease. Their beauty can also enhance our mood and provide spiritual and emotional nourishment.<br><br>Western science has ''discovered'' and named innumerable plant species over the course of its colonial history. To many Indigenous peoples, however, plants have been recognised for centuries as sentient beings, imbued with spirit and agency to help humanity. Publishing in partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, <i>The Ethnobotanical</i> offers a unique and beautiful perspective on plants and their roles in the lives of peoples from across the planet.</p>
