Conservation Strategies for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants in Asia: Current Scenarios and Future Perspectives

In the present context, intensive and unregulated exploitation of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) has significantly compromised their conservation status, posing serious risks to their long-term sustainable availability.Consequently, the development and implementation of effective and adaptive conservation strategies have become critically important, particularly as emerging challenges such as climate change and biological invasions further exacerbate pressures on MAP populations. Conservation Strategies for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) in Asia: Current Scenario and Future Perspectives present a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of existing conservation approaches for MAPs across Asia.It integrates traditional and indigenous knowledge with modern scientific frameworks to assess the conservation status of MAPs and to design region-specific, evidence-based strategies.The volume addresses emerging challenges such as climate change, habitat degradation, overharvestin
