However, the utilization of herbal medicines has been largely underestimated, with little or no scientific data regarding the status, perception of inhabitants of northern Mauritania, confidence in the healing properties of medicinal plants, and the conservation of traditional medicinal heritage of the local population. Methods: The semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires were conducted between 2014 and 2016 in the 11 municipalities of Adrar province. A total of 120 participants aged from 20 to 90 years old, including 24 herbalists and 28 traditional healers. The ethnobotanical data were quantitatively analyzed using indices such as relative popularity level (RPL), rank order priority (ROP), the Medicinal Plant Knowledge index (MPKi), the Medicinal Plant Use index (MPUi), and the Informant consensus factor (ICF). Results: In the present study, we identified 68 taxa from 27 different botanical families. The most significant family is Fabaceae, with 14 species. These plants are used to treat 50 conditions or symptoms grouped into 14 pathological groupings according to the international classification of primary care (ICPC-2). The analysis revealed that the highest value of MPU was obtained for Vachellia tortilis (Forssk.) Galasso &Banfi., Adansonia digitate L. and Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile (MPUi= 100%). In addition, the high fidelity level (FL=100) was recorded for Vachellia tortilis, Adansonia digitata and Balanites aegyptiaca, these three species a very high capability (ROP=100) in improving hypertension and Diabetes. For the Informant Consensus Factor (ICF) the most prevalent groups were Cardiovascular (K) with (ICF=0.97).

Indigenous people lack basic medical facilities and mostly depend upon wild edible fruits for their food requirements and health care. Objectives: The present research work was aimed to document and preserve the valuable pool of indigenous knowledge about the medicinal uses of wild edible fruits of the Surghar range, Pakistan. Methods: Ethnomedicinal information was collected from 55 respondents (aged 40-85 years) belonging to 16 different localities of the Surghar range, Pakistan. Research work was started in July 2021 and completed in January 2023. Compelling semi-structured interviews were conducted with the respondents, and complete data were recorded on questionnaires. Quantitative indices such as fidelity level (FL) and relative frequency of citation (RFC) were used to determine the medicinal significance of wild edible fruits of the Surghar range. Results: This research work provided ethnomedicinal information about 43 wild edible fruits belonging to 16 families. These wild edible fruit species were used to treat 36 human and animal diseases in the Surghar range. Moraceae, with 7 species (16.27%), was recorded as the dominant dicot family. Arecaceae (6.97 %) was the dominant monocot family. The maximum RFC was reported for Berberis lycium (0.763), and the lowest value was calculated for Morus macroura (0.072). The highest FL was documented for Grewia tenax (69.23%), and the lowest was recorded for Bauhinia variegata (8.69%). Conclusion: Recent research work demonstrated that all the wild edible fruit plants had medicinal potential but Berberis lycium, Grewia tenax, Tinospora cordifolia, Salvadora persica, Cordia myxa, and Sideroxylon mascatense were recorded as highly medicinal in the Surghar range.

It has significant socioeconomic potential and is used by the local population in Burkina Faso. Although the species makes a significant contribution to household well-being, the organizations in charge of natural resource management are unaware of and undervalue its socioeconomic value. This study was initiated to assess local communities’ perception of the uses and management techniques of Ocimum americanum to establish sustainable strategies for its better valorization. Methods: An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in 21 villages covering three phytogeographical sectors of Burkina Faso. All, 160 farmers were interviewed. Relative frequency of citation (RFC) and use value (UV) were used to express the results. Results: The results showed that socio-cultural factors significantly affect the use value of the species at a threshold of 5%. The primary uses of wild basil are traditional medicine, food, conservation of seeds and foodstuffs, fodder, insect repellant, and tradimystics. The species is still found in the wild, although the majority of informants (54.9%) reported a decline in its population, making it threatened with extinction. However, for beneficial purposes, 24.5% of respondents keep the species in paraculture. Conclusion: This study demonstrates how important this species is to local communities. The endogenous knowledge collected among the local population could serve as a baseline for the valuation of the species.

These plants have a high nutritional value and are a source of novel alleles/genes that are important in developing new and improved crop cultivars to promote sustainable food security. However, most wild edible vegetables are less well-known and underutilized. This study aimed to investigate wild edible vegetable species diversity and their potential in the Aceh region, Indonesi Methods: The ethnobotanical study was carried out in two districs, i.e. Aceh Selatan and Aceh barat Daya. The ethnobotanical survey was carried out from May to June 2023 and included 383 randomly selected respondents. The ethnobotanical investigation uses semi-structured questionnaires to gather information on the traditional knowledge of wild edible vegetables. Plant specimens were collected and identified in Universitas Samudra. Results: A total of 86 wild species belonging to 35 families and 67 genera were documented as being consumed as vegetables by local people in the study area. In terms of frequency of citation, only 28 taxa were cited by 75% or more of the interviewed people, 17 (20%) vegetable taxa were commonly gathered and consumed, 35 (41.2%) were rarely cited - ranging from 5 to 20% of informants, and 5 were very rarely cited. Artocarpus integer, Archidendron bubalinum, Etlingera elatior, Macrothelypteris torresiana, Stenochlaena palustris, Bambusa vulgaris, Colocasia esculenta, Pseudosasa japonica, Diplazium esculentum, and Ipomoea aquatica are the ten most cited vegetables in the study area. Despite the fact that the study discovered a high diversity of wild edible vegetables, local people in Kluet Tengah only used an average of 31.11 ± 9.21 species out of 57 species recorded. Most of the reported vegetables were consumed cooked (74 species), eaten raw (2), both cooked and raw (3), and 5 species were added as a spice to the dish. Indigenous knowledge of wild edible vegetables was significantly associated with districts, age groups, and educational levels. Conclusion: Aceh has a diverse range of wild edible vegetables, but only a small proportion has been used by local people, particularly as food. Promotion and domestication of wild edible vegetables should be a primary concern in Aceh in order to take advantage of their nutritional value and potential economic value. Moreover, integrating knowledge related to wild edible vegetables into the educational curriculum is critical for educating the next generation regarding the potential of wild edible vegetables in the future.

Its specific geographical position and numerous refugial habitats are responsible for today's remarkable plant biodiversity. The Biocultural diversity of this area originated in the Stone Age, additionally enriched by the influence of various conquerors: Slavic tribes, the appearance of the Franciscans, the Ottoman Empire, the arrival of Sephardic Jews, and the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Methods: The diachronic changes in the use of medicinal plants in BIH from the Middle Ages until today were studied. In this research, 1211 randomly selected respondents of different ages, genders, and levels of education participated. Frequency (FC) and the relative frequency of citation (RFC), therapeutic use, number of use reports (UR) and the family importance value (FIV) were used to evaluate the relevance of detected species and families. Results: In daily life practices, respondents utilize about 145 plant species for medicinal purposes, mainly as an infusion, herbal juice, tincture, syrup, and oil. The ethnobotanical bibliography for the region of BIH includes 43 references published so far. According to them, current healers and the local population no longer use about 21% or 60 plant species from 55 genera and 40 families. Also, the ways of application changed, while the ritual uses entirely vanished. Conclusions: Diachronic changes in traditional medicine in BIH resulted in a decrease in indigenous knowledge about autochthonous medicinal plant species. Native plant resource funds stay neglected while current local connoisseurs and people frequently utilize commonly known innovative medicinal plants.
