Nearly all cultures, from ancient times to today, have used plants
as a source of medicine. In many developing countries, traditional
medicine is still the mainstay of health care and most of the drugs
and cures used come from plants. In developed countries many people
are turning to herbal remedies. With this widespread use has come
the assumption that plants identified as having medicinal qualities
will be available on a continuing basis. However no concerted
effort has been made to ensure this and in the face of the threats
of increasing demand, a vastly increasing human population and
extensive forest destruction, there can be no guarantee that we
will continue to benefit indefinitely from this valuable resource.
In light of this situation the World Health Organisation held a
meeting in 1988. This book is the outcome of that meeting,
detailing in a series of papers by leading experts the problems of
which need to be addressed, the existing experiences from a range
of countries and the future direction which must be taken to ensure
the conservation of the world's medicinal plants.
