About Dr. Touseef Hussain Trak
I, Dr. Touseef Hussain Trak take the pride to say that I belong to crown state of India, i.e. Jammu and Kashmir, well known for its scenic beauty, ethnic culture and floristic diversity. I, am working as Lecturer in Botany in Government Degree College Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir from the last 5 years. As an enthusiastic Botanist from Jammu and Kashmir, my field of research interest is Indigenous Medicinal plants especially used by tribal’s and local people in the treatment of common diseases, their survey and documentation. I relate myself to Ethnobotany in my research work, and wish to pursue its thorough and systematic investigation. This is an attempt to bridge between the traditional use of indigenous plants and their importance in pharmaceutical industry. The study and search in this direction is a continuous process for me and my passion for it can be mirrored in my work along with my team- mates, in the books published viz., Important Medicinal Plants with rich Antioxidant potential", "Antioxidants- the Miraculous Healers", and the recent one- "Wonder Healing of Wounds through some Medicinal Plants", Besides this my contribution as Nature Educator and Communication Officer for “Wildlife Conservation Fund” in Youth Parliament of Jammu and Kashmir (YPJK), a registered international youth organization recognized by United Nations – Civil Society Organizations and worked as Chief Coordinator for Centre for Biological Diversity in Kashmir Geographic Eco-Cooperative Limited. My research publication that counts upto 29 also have the glimpse about the herbal diversity, traditional uses of medicinal plants in curing many types of diseases.
