Modalities of exploitation of medicinal plants in Douala’s region

The medicinal plants constitute precious resources for most of rural population in Africa, where more than 80% of this population use it to insure health care. However, the resources in medicinal plants show a serious decline due to deforestation. For this reason, a commercial exploitation of these medicinal plants in touch with a lasting management compatible with biodiversity must be conceivable. The present work proposes to examine the opportunities of an integration of the supported exploitation of medicinal plants in order to reconcile the challenges of a growth of incomes and biodiversity conservation.
