Abstract

A combination of field surveys and direct observation was used to identify botanicals whose roots are extracted for anti-malaria purposes. A total of 33 botanicals were identified as having their roots being exploited for anti-malaria utilization in the study area. 14 of these species, representing 42% of the botanicals, were being cultivated while 58% were not cultivated. Most of the uncultivated species were indigenous tree species that has forest as their primary source. With the increasing deforestation, there is the need for conservation of these species. Strategies that would enhance the sustainable utilization of the species and make them available to the present and future generations were proposed.
