The book highlights the urgent threat of extinction facing one in five plant species and the corresponding loss of traditional knowledge about their uses. It emphasizes the importance of this knowledge in developing effective medicines, particularly for diseases like malaria. The author argues that forgetting this wisdom and allowing plant extinction would jeopardize our ability to adapt and survive, stressing the responsibility to preserve both plants and the knowledge associated with them for future generations.
