Species level conservation of four rare endangered medicinal plants in Wadi Rum, southern Jordan

Four rare and endangered medicinal plants in Wadi Rum, Jordan, are under severe threat due to heavy local usage, with their traditional knowledge at risk of erosion. The study highlights the urgent need for conservation efforts and documentation of ethnopharmacological practices to preserve these species and their cultural significance. Investigating the ecological value and indigenous knowledge surrounding these plants, the research emphasizes the importance of prioritizing their protection in Wadi Rum and Jordan more broadly.
