The bamboo products and marketing have multiple roles to play in the inclusive
economic development of the country, especially in the context of the rural population. Plant-derived drugs have an important place in both traditional and modern
medical systems and Jharkhand is rich in medicinal plants diversity. It needs further
extensive and intensive investigation to suggest a method of conservation as well
as the preservation of not only the medicinal plant but also the forest and forests
products as a whole. Collection of plant material, especially of rare and endangered
plant species from natural habitats for various experimental purposes by researchers,
also poses a threat on their natural population in the wild. Realizing the continuous
depletion of these valuable resources, attempts should be made for its large-scale
cultivation and multiplication in order to meet its escalating demand as well as longterm sustainability. There is an urgent need to carry out detailed investigations on
the geographical distribution patterns, habitat utilization patterns, feeding ecology,
and impact of herbivores on important plant populations.
