Rick Stepp is an ethnobiologist and the G. P. Wilder Professor of Botany at the University of Hawaii.[1] His work examines the strong relationship between biological diversity and cultural diversity.[2][3] He has also been involved in research on the importance of weeds as medicinal plants for indigenous peoples.[4][5] This work has garnered notice in the popular press because it is in opposition to lay notions about indigenous uses of the rainforest.[6] He was the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Ethnobiology from 2005-2008.
