Short Answer

Solution
- In earlier times, people collected medicinal plants directly from natural forests for therapeutic and Ayurvedic purposes.
- Because of ongoing deforestation and over-harvesting, many of these valuable plant species have become rare and are at risk of extinction.
- To meet the ever-growing global demand for medicines while protecting natural biodiversity, systematic commercial cultivation of medicinal plants is now widely practised.
