We investigated the ethnomedical practices and knowledge of medicinal plant and fungus species of contemporary Yuracar_ and Trinitario ethnic groups from Indigenous Territory and National Park Isiboro-S_cure (TIPNIS), located in the Bolivian Amazon region. Our aim was to identify the culturally most significant medicinal plant families, growth forms and species, as well as to assess the current state of knowledge regarding the bioactivity of the most important species, based on available literature data.
