Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Forestry / Forestry Economics, Vrije University Brussel (Human Ecology Department), 52 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The role of medicinal plants in traditional health care delivery in Ghana cannot be overemphasized. More than 250 indigenous trees and plants with healing properties have been scientifically catalogued in Ghana. Unfortunately, the very foundation upon which the medicinal plant species and the traditional health care system survive is threatened by deforestation. The rate of deforestation has increased by 50% over the last ten years, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The current area of intact forest is now estimated at between 10.9 and 11.8% of the original cover and 6.9% of the country's total area. Deforestation is changing the habitats of disease-carrying insects and creating conditions that may help to spread malaria, river blindness and other devastating illnesses. Moreover, since the majority of the rural poor in Ghana depends on traditional medicine for their health care needs, the present high rate of deforestation will have a detrimental effect on the heath care delivery system in the country. Important plant species will be lost to deforestation unless urgent measures are taken. This paper examines the impact of deforestation on medicinal plants in Ghana.

Over the past 15 years, the West African country of Ghana has lost roughly 25% of its forest cover, leading to a decline in both traditional environmental knowledge and species. This research contributes to the literature by exploring how to best assess knowledge loss and identify important species that provide incentives for conservation. I apply and evaluate ethnobotanical measures to meet the objectives of 1) documenting knowledge of medicinal plants, 2) identifying the most locally important medicinal plants, and 3) assessing current level and distribution of traditional plant knowledge. I assign plant importance by several measures (including frequency cited, number of uses, and informant consensus), while developing and testing three new applications of the informant consensus method. Medicinal plant knowledge is well established in the area, and identified important plants are confirmed by literature as being effective. There is no difference between sexes or ages in the number of medicinal plants named (suggesting little knowledge loss), but there is a difference in which species are named (suggesting knowledge change and potential for future losses). Accessibility to and use of western medicine drives the traditional knowledge loss, and thus, I recommend the encouragement of sustainable use to conserve knowledge. An informant consensus measure, which uses a logarithmic function to assign value to plant use, is identified as the most appropriate estimator of plant importance.
