Chhattisgarh, a nascent tribal state of India has been carved out of Madhya Pradesh on November 01, 2000.. The biological resources in these indigenous territories of Chhattisgarh consists of natural sources of agricultural, medicinal, ecological, veterinary and cosmological utility which ensure equilibrium between local environment and social health of the tribal in forest villages. These biological resources influence the cultural practices, resources and local knowledge systems not only among Gond and Halba communities but also among other indigenous communities.. The circulation and reproduction of natural and social environment and local system of production are followed by these cultural practices which are potential substrates of local cultural resources. The process of globalisation has threatened not only protection of intellectual property rights of these tribal innovators but also protection of cultural and biological resources of these indigenous territories. The reproduction of these cultural knowledge and practices for commercial application has not been appropriately explored. Because they need to be synthesized, reduced, standardized and miniaturized for mass reproduction and distribution based on scientific research and integration of local knowledge in mainstream of scientific exploration... The worldview of tribal communities has been generated from their interaction with the nature, its resources and functions.Theirworldview is naturalistic. These tribal people believe and worship the supernatural power in both animate and the inanimate substances. Their world view and local health tradition are based on how they use natural resources..Their custmary rules have restricted them overexploitation of natural resources and thus the concept sustainability are inbuilt in their local health tradition,culture,religion,belief system and myths.
