Book Synopsis Impact of Deforestation on Medicinal Plants in Ghana by : Emmanuel Boon
Download or read book Impact of Deforestation on Medicinal Plants in Ghana written by Emmanuel Boon and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2008 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Forestry / Forestry Economics, Vrije University Brussel (Human Ecology Department), 52 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The role of medicinal plants in traditional health care delivery in Ghana cannot be overemphasized. More than 250 indigenous trees and plants with healing properties have been scientifically catalogued in Ghana. Unfortunately, the very foundation upon which the medicinal plant species and the traditional health care system survive is threatened by deforestation. The rate of deforestation has increased by 50% over the last ten years, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The current area of intact forest is now estimated at between 10.9 and 11.8% of the original cover and 6.9% of the country's total area. Deforestation is changing the habitats of disease-carrying insects and creating conditions that may help to spread malaria, river blindness and other devastating illnesses. Moreover, since the majority of the rural poor in Ghana depends on traditional medicine for their health care needs, the present high rate of deforestation will have a detrimental effect on the heath care delivery system in the country. Important plant species will be lost to deforestation unless urgent measures are taken. This paper examines the impact of deforestation on medicinal plants in Ghana.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a collection of papers by some experts in medicinal plants. It is presented as a contribution to clarifying the many policy and technical issues associated with the conservation, use, production and trade of medicinal plants. This publication draws attention to the huge contribution of medicinal plants to traditional and modern health care systems, but also alert the readers on the many problems and challenges facing their sustainable development, such as: assessment and management of the medicinal plant resource base; best harvesting and processing practices; trade issues and aspects dealing with the intellectual property rights on traditional medicine by indigenous peoples. The use of this document will help raise the awareness on medicinal plants as an important forest resource, and will help ensure that medicinal plants are adequately included in forest conservation and utilization programmes.

Book Synopsis Medicinal and Aromatic Plants by : Gopal Shukla
Download or read book Medicinal and Aromatic Plants written by Gopal Shukla and published by New India Publishing Agency. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are invaluable natural resources of use to human race, without which the survival of human/ animal race is incredible. There is an enormous diversity of plants which are put into medicinal, beauty care and culinary purposes. Cultivation of commercially important medicinal plants is in high demand as the global community is growing towards a green and herbal oriented approach. India as a country has thousands of years old traditional medicinal systems which rely solely on medicinal plants. There is a gradual loss of medicinal plants with the increasing demand of plant derived drugs. Majority of medicinal plants are still collected from the wild. This doesn't meet the demand and thereby pave ways to adulterants. The over extraction and ignorant activities cause biodiversity loss. Farm production of MAPs in these days is extremely vulnerable to underlying climate risk. Sustainable management of these resources requires urgent attention for environmental stability and improvement of livelihood. New income generating opportunities are opening up for rural populations and in particular for small-scale farmers as well as marginal farmers through MAPs cultivation. New generation are not well aware of the various uses of many plants to which it was put before. Thus there is an urgent need to spread the knowledge and conserve the wild populations of medicinal plant diversity in various forest areas of India. Considering the importance of the MAPs, an attempt was taken in this edited book to understand and highlight the role of MAPs in livelihood improvement and income generation through cultivation, conservation and utilisation. Most of the chapters in this book dealt with individual medicinal plants in detail. Two chapters have also been included on pests and diseases management of MAPs. Nowadays, IPR issues are more important. One chapter has been included on IPR issues on medicinal plants. A chapter also devoted on value addition of the medicinal plant products.

Book Synopsis Assigning Medicinal Plant Value and Estimating Traditional Environmental Knowledge in Ghana, Africa Using Ethnobotanical Measures by :
Download or read book Assigning Medicinal Plant Value and Estimating Traditional Environmental Knowledge in Ghana, Africa Using Ethnobotanical Measures written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 15 years, the West African country of Ghana has lost roughly 25% of its forest cover, leading to a decline in both traditional environmental knowledge and species. This research contributes to the literature by exploring how to best assess knowledge loss and identify important species that provide incentives for conservation. I apply and evaluate ethnobotanical measures to meet the objectives of 1) documenting knowledge of medicinal plants, 2) identifying the most locally important medicinal plants, and 3) assessing current level and distribution of traditional plant knowledge. I assign plant importance by several measures (including frequency cited, number of uses, and informant consensus), while developing and testing three new applications of the informant consensus method. Medicinal plant knowledge is well established in the area, and identified important plants are confirmed by literature as being effective. There is no difference between sexes or ages in the number of medicinal plants named (suggesting little knowledge loss), but there is a difference in which species are named (suggesting knowledge change and potential for future losses). Accessibility to and use of western medicine drives the traditional knowledge loss, and thus, I recommend the encouragement of sustainable use to conserve knowledge. An informant consensus measure, which uses a logarithmic function to assign value to plant use, is identified as the most appropriate estimator of plant importance.
