Abstract:
Non-Timber Forest Produce (NTFPs) as medicinal and aromatic plants provide convenient and easy source of income for rural people. Due to human interference, over exploitation and indiscriminate harvest, IUCN, WWF and others have red listed them. FRLHT along with State Forest Department in India established in-situ conservation sites of medicinal plants known as Medicinal Plants Conservation Areas (MPCAs). Due to the richness of medicinal plants, the state of Uttaranchal (now Uttarakhand) in 2003 was declared as ‘Herbal State’. Under UNDP-GEF-GOI funded project for long term conservation and sustainable use of medicinal plants, seven MPCAs were selected in Uttarakhand. Out of seven, six MPCAs were sampled by the author using nested quadrates technique for sampling of medicinal plants.

Abstract:
The studies were undertaken under the aegis of the National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB), New Delhi during 2002 - 2013, comprising in-situ and ex-situ conservation projects implemented through different State Forest Departments. Besides, R&D projects carried out by the ICAR, ICFRE, CSIR, DBT, SAUs have been taken. The contribution of NMPB in conservation and cultivation of endangered and threatened medicinal plant species in India is highlighted. There are several factors which are responsible for endangering these species in their natural habitat such as habitat loss due to diversion of forest land, biotic and abiotic interference in forest areas, unsustainable harvesting of medicinal and aromatic plants. The NMPB has supported several projects for conservation and cultivation of endangered and threatened medicinal plant species, viz.Commiphora wightii (A.) Bhandari,Saraca asoca (Roxb.) de Wilde, Swertia chirayita (Roxb. ex Fleming), Aconitum heterophyllum Wall. ex Royle., Aquilaria malaccensis Lamk., Gloriosasuperba L.Nardostachys grandiflora DC., Picrorhizakurroa Royle ex Benth., Podophyllumhexandrum Royle, Pterocarpus marsupium Roxb., Pterocarpus santalinus L. f., Taxus wallichiana Zucc., Dashmool species etc in different states of the country. The NMPB has funded the establishment of 66 Medicinal Plant Conservation Areas (MPCAs) and 368 herbal gardens in different states. To encourage conservation, domestication and R&D activities, all the stakeholders need to be sensitized as to the cause of loss of species and the ways to address the problem. Make it more informative and attractive.

Abstract:
Kripa (Lumnitzera racemosa) is an evergreen branched tree of medicinal value found in the mangrove areas of the Indian subcontinent and traditionally used by local rural communities to treat various ailments and their symptoms. Kripa was identified as one of the many mangrove species that occur in the Sunderbans delta that are being used for its therapeutic properties. The traditional usage of Kripa leaves and bark were learnt through interaction with the locals. The plant parts were collected from the Medicinal Plant Conservation Area (MPCA) in Bonnie Camp and a preliminary phytochemical analysis was conducted in methanolic extraction by following standard methodology. The locals reported that the most common use of the plant were to treat itches, bites (inflammation) and occasionally even symptoms of diabetes. The preliminary phytochemical screening reveals that the leaves of Kripa contains glycosides, alkaloids, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, etc.

Abstract:
Indian Himalayan Region is known globally since the Vedic time for its rich resources. Due to less accessibility to basic facilities, communities of the Himalaya are well adopted with forests for curing various ailments. The present study has been conducted in Shivalik Hills of Himachal Pradesh. A total of 330 medicinal plants belonging to 85 families and 263 genera were recorded. 40 species were native to the Himalayan Region and 27 species were native to the Himalayan Region and other biogeographical regions, together, 01 species was endemic, 23 species were near endemic. Leaves, roots and whole plants were utilized in majority of cases. The analysis revealed that maximum species were used for fever, skin diseases, cough, dysentery and stomach problems. Acorus calamus, Berberis asiatica, Cheilocostus speciosus, Cinnamomum tamala, Gloriosa superba, Pittosporum eriocarpum, Rauvolfia serpentina, Terminalia chebula, etc. were identified as threatened species. Due to habitat degradation, biological invasion, over-exploitation and changing environmental conditions, the populations of these medicinal plants are facing high pressures. Therefore, identification of Medicinal Plants Conservation Areas (MPCAs), frequent monitoring of habitats, extraction trend of medicinal plants, education, awareness and participation of the local inhabitants have been suggested.

Abstract:
Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) encompasses a holistic marine management strategy that intertwines robust marine ecosystem preservation with sustainable resource utilization. This method aims to harness oceanic resources while advocating for the financial backing of crucial scientific research, sustainable ecosystem management, and support for local fisherfolk and communities, ultimately enhancing the resilience of marine environments. In Indonesia, unlocking the full potential of nature-based solutions for climate mitigation, marine conservation, and sustainable oceanic development necessitates strategic and appropriately scaled investments. Despite being introduced in the 1990s, national-level adoption of the ICM approach remains lacking. Presently, the Government of Indonesia predominantly relies on the establishment of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) asa primary tool for ocean conservation. With approximately 28.9 million hectares of MPAs currently established, Indonesia plans to expand coverage to 97.5 million hectares by 2045. Aligning with Konservasi Indonesia’s Protection and Production approach, MPAs can be tailored to operationalize ICM principles. The East Pulau Bintan MPA serves as a viable case study, demonstrating how zoning strategies can effectively balance marine conservation with sustainable resource exploitation.

Abstract:
The present investigation medicinal plant resources in sacred forests of Garhwal Himalaya were carried out in six sacred protected groves in four districts of Garhwal Himalaya. The aim of the study was to enlist the important plants of medicinal value in these forests. A total of 126 plant species were found of medicinal importance representing 99 genera under 53 families. Herb species contributed the maximum (46.83%) to the total medicinal plant species. The family Rosaceae was the dominant family with (13) species. Leaves are the mostly used plant part, accounting for 41 species followed by roots/rhizomes/bulb with (38) species. The medicine from a tree near temple is considered more holy (prashad) and effective in treating diseases because of penance of deities. The region is enriched with large number of religion based conservation areas with rich vegetation and if studied with wisdom and in detail may prove to be boon for communities and conservation management for such areas.

Abstract:
Dactylorhiza hatagirea (D. Don) Soo (Orchidaceae) is an important endangered medicinal herb, distributed in subalpine to alpine regions of the Himalayas. Its tubers are important constituents of many medicines and health tonics. Overexploitation for medicinal uses has decreased availability in natural habitats and this species has been enlisted as endangered, making conservation and cultivation studies necessary. Variability studies may serve as an important tool for effective conservation and for a crop improvement program. Therefore, natural populations of D. hatagirea were analyzed for variability on the basis of morphological, biochemical, and isoenzyme patterns. The studied populations were grouped into two clusters. Existing variability among different populations opens up new areas for conservation and perspectives for a genetic improvement program for D. hatagirea.

Abstract:
The current economic and social conditions in many rural areas of the world are threatening the precious heritage of ethnobotanical knowledge and traditional farming practices.This can cause loss of precious cultural heritage and reduction in plant biodiversity, as ancient crops tend to disappear. The main aim of this thesis is to document traditional uses of plants by different ethnic groups (Tibeto-Burman and Indo-Aryan) living in certain rural areas of the Kavrepalanchok District in Central Nepal. In the study area, due to distance from urban centres and difficulty in accessing the government healthcare system, people still rely heavily on the use of local plants for various purposes, above all for primary healthcare. Through interviews with 32 informants, most of whom were key informants, we explored uses of 116 plant species, of which 101 were plants with medicinal value employed in the treatment of human and veterinary diseases. Some unusual uses of medicinal plants and original recipes were also reported. The data document the richness of the local flora and traditional knowledge of medicinal plant species used by ethnic communities in these rural areas. Therefore, future projects will have to involve local people in the improvement and conservation of the biological and cultural heritage.There is also a need for an ecological strategy for integrated management of land, water and living resources. Another aim of the research presented in this thesis is to better characterise some plants found to be of particular interest among those surveyed in the study area. With this in mind, we have focused our attention on those plants used by informants in the treatment of nervous system disorders, such as two species belonging to Caprifoliaceae (formerly Valerianaceae): Valeriana jatamansi Jones ex Rob. and Nardostachys jatamansi (D. Don) DC. These plants are widely used in traditional medicine for their sedative and anxiolytic properties in Nepal and in many other Asian countries. The pharmacognostic and phytochemical profile and the biological effects of essential oils (EOs) of these species were compared with those of Valeriana officinalis L., a species whose phytotherapeutic use is widespread in Western medicine. The multidisciplinary approach used represents a way to avoid adulteration of herbal drugs and allows evaluation of the effectiveness of EOs that could be used for a wide range of therapeutic applications. Overall, the results of this research could be useful for enhancing knowledge of the potential of still little-known medicinal plants for the possible formulation of new pharmaceutical products, eventually contributing to the economic development of local communities.

Abstract:
Forage cactus is a perennial crop, which has been widely exploited for feeding ruminants in the semiarid region of different countries around the world. The main objective of this chapter is to describe the use and importance of spineless cactus as forage, desertification mitigation, source of water for animals and a source of income for producers in semiarid regions. The main species explored in Brazil are Opuntia spp. and Nopalea spp., due to characteristics such as resistance to pests, productivity, water-use efficiency and demand for soil fertility. The productivity of the species in a region will depend on its morphological characteristics, plant spacing, planting systems and its capacity to adapt to climatic and soil conditions. In other parts of the world, cactus species are the most cosmopolitan and destructive among invasive plants. However, the use of spineless forage cactus in areas where it can develop normally and may become the basis for ruminants’ feed would increase the support capacity production systems. Thus, specifically for Brazil’s semiarid region these species can make the difference as forage for animal feeding, cultivated as monoculture or intercropped, for soil conservation and desertification mitigation, source of water for animals, preservation of the Caatinga biome and be a potential source of income for producers if cultivated as vegetable for nutritional properties and medicinal derivative of fruits and cladodes for exports.
