Abstract

For many centuries, plant species have been used by local and indigenous communities as part of their culture and traditions for the preparations of medicines to treat, both human and animal diseases. Local and Indigenous communities are culturally distinct ethnic groups with a different identity, culture, and traditional expressions from the national society, and draw their existence and survival from their local resources or environment [1]. Furthermore, indigenous, and local communities are socially and culturally extinct from the dominant society and often times regarded as vulnerable and disadvantaged by the modern society development processes [2].
