Abstract
The collection and use of medicinal plants is one field where eco-friendly methods are crucial. Unfortunately, the indiscriminate harvesting and habitat destruction of these precious botanical resources are threatening their very survival, despite their important role in human healing for ages. Medicinal plants are an invaluable boon to human health and environmental well-being, serving as natural cures for a wide range of diseases. Not all areas have problems with unsustainable harvesting, thus it's important to do evaluations on a local level. One advantage of using local expertise for short-term evaluations is the positive reception it has received. Much research has gone into the topic of medicinal plant conservation and sustainable usage. The future of medicinal plants, ecosystems, and the healing power of nature may be brightened by bringing together scientific understanding, community involvement, and cultural sensitivity.
