En la actualidad los problemas ambientales han alcanzado y son considerados en una dimensión global, pero si utilizamos una lupa a nivel local cada problema está posicionado y tiene sus particularidades, su especificidad, representando un reto para cada sitio donde se genera.

Caribbean and Central American countries are adopting common policies on medicinal plant conservation and establishing collaborative projects and appropriate agreements for research programs in order to achieve a new status for the protection of medicinal plant diversity. This paper for the most part reports on the the TRAMIL Program (Scientific Research on Medicinal Plants in the Caribbean Basin) coordinated since 1982. TRAMIL has focused on conserving traditional community knowledge of folk remedies, and providing scientific validation of safety and efficacy needed to encourage national health policies that include traditional medicine in primary health care programs.
