Bioprospecting of Ethnomedicinal Plant Resources 1st Edition

Bioprospecting of Ethnomedicinal Plant Resources 1st Edition by invites scientists, conservationists, and industry professionals to explore the rich intersection of traditional knowledge and modern natural-product discovery. This compelling guide opens with real-world snapshots—from the rainforests of the Amazon and Southeast Asia to the montane ranges of India and Africa—showing how ethnomedicinal plant resources continue to fuel drug discovery, sustainable livelihoods, and biodiversity protection.

Inside, readers will find clear, practical coverage of ethnobotanical survey methods, phytochemical screening, bioassay-guided fractionation, and ecological best practices for sustainable harvesting. The book balances rigorous science with ethical frameworks: intellectual property considerations, community engagement, and benefit-sharing models that respect indigenous knowledge while enabling responsible bioprospecting. Case studies and regional examples make complex concepts approachable and actionable for field researchers, graduate students, pharmaceutical developers, and policy makers.

What sets this volume apart is its focus on translating traditional remedies into validated leads without compromising conservation goals. Learn how GIS mapping, conservation planning, and regulatory navigation support scalable, ethical natural-product programs. The text also highlights market and supply-chain realities that affect commercialization across different geographies.

Whether you’re building a research program, advising a conservation initiative, or scouting botanical leads for drug development, Bioprospecting of Ethnomedicinal Plant Resources 1st Edition provides the frameworks and tools to proceed responsibly and effectively. Enhance your library with this authoritative, timely resource—order now to stay at the forefront of ethnomedicinal research and sustainable bioprospecting.
