ABSTRACT
Nepal, being a small country, occupying just 0.1% of the global area is rich in its biodiversity, both in plant and animal diversity and cultural diversity. The country is bestowed with climatic variation and unique geography which provides diversified topography. The ecologically rich environment and the multi‑ethnic population is a unique and attractive attribute of the country. Biodiversity and cultural diversity come together as we know; different ethnic groups depend on biodiversity for their food security. Nepal is rich in wild edible plants (WEPs) growing in different ecosystems and such plants along with their wild relatives enrich the genetic diversity in the country.
