Popis:	A questionnaire survey of the problems associated with conservation of medicinal plants in Anambra State of Nigeria was conducted using structured questionnaire forms. Three local government areas were chosen from each of the Agricultural zones of the state for the study, which was also based on prevailing sub - vegetation zones. Results indicate that huge financial involvement is required to implant laudable conservation strategies: over - exploitation of the species for medicinal purposes poor environmental education of the public, uncontrolled habitat destruction and non - prioritization of species list for conservation were the major problems associated with medicinal plant conservation in the area. Keywords: Problems conservation, medicinal plants, Anambra State.
