General overview on the conservation of medicinal plants in Turkey

Abstract

Medicinal plants are a special area that needs to be evaluated with different parameters than the general biodiversity threatening due to intense collection pressure. In the study, Turkey's plant diversity, requirements and strategies for sustainable use of Turkish medicinal plants, criticizing and planning of data for the protection of medicinal plants have been evaluated using standards of the Guidelines on the Conservation of Medicinal Plants by WHO, IUCN, WWF and Traffic. In addition, the richness of traditional medicinal plant uses in Turkey, the concept, and usage potentials, administrative requirements for the protection, creation of the in situ and ex situ conservation areas and recommendations for the future have been presented.

Türkiye'de tıbbi bitkilerin korunmasına genel bakış

Abstract

Tıbbi bitkiler yoğun bir toplama baskısı nedeniyle genel biyoçeşitlilik üzerindeki baskıdan daha farklı parametrelerle değerlendirilmesi gereken bir alandır. Çalışmada, Türkiye’nin bitki zenginliği, tıbbi bitki olarak kullanılan bitkilerin sürdürülebilir kullanımı için gereksinimler ve stratejiler, verilerin ve tıbbi bitkilerin korunmasına yönelik planlamalar, WHO, IUCN, WWF ve Traffic tarafından hazırlanmış Tıbbi Bitkileri Koruma Kılavuzu’na göre değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca Türkiye’nin geleneksel tıbbi bitki kullanım zenginliği, tıbbi bitki kavramı ve kullanım potansiyeli, korumaya yönelik yönetimsel gereksinimler, in situ ve ex situ koruma alanlarının oluşturulması ve geleceğe yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
