<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>The Tamhini Hills in Maharashtra, part of the Western Ghats, are an important biodiversity hotspot known for their rich variety of medicinal plants and diverse ecosystems. Located at a considerable elevation, these hills create an ideal environment for numerous endemic species, many of which are integral to traditional medicine. The region's cool, moist climate, combined with dense forests, fosters the growth of medicinal herbs renowned for their healing properties. This natural wealth not only makes the Tamhini Hills an ecological treasure but also a crucial source of traditional remedies, with local communities depending on these plants for their medicinal value. Given its unique elevation and biodiversity, the area plays a key role in conservation efforts, helping to protect these valuable plant species for future generations.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
