Abstract

Tribal health culture offers a sustainable model for ecological and human well-being, emphasizing the interdependence of health and nature. Drawing on indigenous knowledge, tribal communities utilize forest biodiversity for herbal remedies, spiritual healing, and preventive care, fostering biodiversity conservation while addressing health needs. Practices like ethno medicine and agro forestry align with global sustainability goals, reflecting a holistic, low-impact approach. Despite challenges like cultural erosion and policy neglect, these traditions hold immense potential for modern sustainability frameworks. Integrating tribal wisdom into mainstream policies can bridge tradition and innovation, creating pathways for global health and ecological resilience.
