520|  |▼aMedicinal plants are globall-
   |  |y valuable sources of herbal p-
   |  |roducts. Plant-based remedies -
   |  |have been used for centuries a-
   |  |nd have had no alternative in -
   |  |the western medicine repertoir-
   |  |e, while others and their bioa-
   |  |ctive derivatives are in high -
   |  |demand and have been the centr-
   |  |al focus of biomedical researc-
   |  |h. As Medicinal plants move fr-
   |  |om fringe to mainstream with a-
   |  | greater number of individuals-
   |  | seeking treatments free of si-
   |  |de effects, considerable atten-
   |  |tion has been paid to utilize -
   |  |plant-based products for the p-
   |  |revention and cure of human di-
   |  |seases. An unintended conseque-
   |  |nce of this increased demand, -
   |  |however, is that the existence-
   |  | of many medicinal plants is n-
   |  |ow threatened, due to their sm-
   |  |all population size, narrow di-
   |  |stribution area, habitat speci-
   |  |ficity, and destructive mode o-
   |  |f harvesting. In addition, cli-
   |  |mate change, habitat loss and -
   |  |genetic drift have further end-
   |  |angered these unique species. -
   |  |Although extensive research ha-
   |  |s been carried out on medicina-
   |  |l and aromatic plants, there i-
   |  |s relatively little informatio-
   |  |n available on their global di-
   |  |stribution patterns, conservat-
   |  |ion and the associated laws pr-
   |  |evailing. This book reviews th-
   |  |e current status of threatened-
   |  | medicinal plants in light of -
   |  |increased surge in the demand -
   |  |for herbal medicine. It brings-
   |  | together chapters on both wil-
   |  |d (non-cultivated) and domesti-
   |  |c (cultivated) species having -
   |  |therapeutic values. Thematical-
   |  |ly, conventional and contempor-
   |  |ary approaches to conservation-
   |  | of such threatened medicinal -
   |  |plants with commercial feasibi-
   |  |lity are presented. The topics-
   |  | of interest include, but not -
   |  |limited to, biotechnology, sus-
   |  |tainable development, in situ -
   |  |and ex situ conservation, and -
   |  |even the relevance of IPR on t-
   |  |hreatened medicinal plants. We-
   |  | believe this book is useful t-
   |  |o horticulturists, botanists, -
   |  |policy makers, conservationist-
   |  |s, NGOs and researchers in the-
   |  | academia and the industry sectors.
