Thou, African countries were not famous in traditional healing techniques and drugs, but they were also traditionally healing techniques and drugs dependent during that time. Unlike European countries, all those countries that employed those traditional healing techniques and drugs were blessed with diverse healing plants which favored them to do so.

As time goes on, the industrial revolutions changed the image of medical system worldwide by modernizing traditional systems and adding improved features. Western countries inverted biodiversity based medical system which changed usual medical plant based system and later on integrated biodiversity and plant medical system.

Those changes reduced people's concern on the healing plants which brought most healing plant species to their exit. The population increase, housing facilities, technological advancement, land competition of agribusiness activities are the centered causes of the rising issue of those plants' exit. There are various consequences for only depending on biodiversity healing system as most of them left chronological or long-term syndromes unlike plant based. 

Today, most of the healing medicines are found in tropical rain forests such as Amazon in South America, and Tropical rain forest in center Africa. Countries like China took first step of maintaining traditional healing techniques, and drugs by protecting the source and offering traditional medical based education. African countries need to deploy the same policies as technological advancement and population growth take another pace.
