Because crude extracts always vary in composition, similar preparations produce different biological responses. Is this project focussing on the identification and determination of the active compounds?
There is also a high rate of deforestation all over the continent . Is there any plans for conservation of these medicinal plants?
All botanical departments of our universities have biological gardens where these medicinal plants of interest are planted. Ministries of agriculture and environments are responsible for conservation policies to protect these medicinal plants. So plant as many plant of interest around you and advice ministries of agriculture and environments on best conservation methods to protect these medicinal plants.
@Cyril Ogbuanu your point is ver correct. I have read about the famous Kew Gardens in the UK. Our Institutions should aspire to reach that level.
On the main issue, I think research capacity must be upgraded.
@cyril Ogbuanu Thanks for your valuable suggestion. I will try my best to protect medicinal plant and will give proper advice to our related authorities.
