Abstract

This study focuses on Tylophorarotundifolia, a valuable medicinal plant traditionally used for ailments like respiratory and inflammatory conditions. Growing concerns exist due to its overexploitation and habitat degradation. To address this, we employed an ecological and ethno-botanical approach, conducting field surveys, interviews, and literature reviews to document its traditional uses, ecological requirements, and conservation status. Our research confirms the plant's crucial role in traditional medicine and emphasizes the necessity of sustainable conservation efforts. We propose comprehensive strategies, including protecting its natural habitats (in-situ conservation), cultivating it elsewhere (ex-situ conservation), promoting sustainable harvesting practices, and fostering community involvement to safeguard this vital species.
