Forest ecosystems harbor a significant proportion of medicinal plant diversity, providing habitats for numerous species with recognized pharmacological value. However, increasing anthropogenic pressures, including habitat destruction, overexploitation, land-use change, forest fragmentation, and climate change, have contributed to the decline of many medicinal plant populations worldwide. Consequently, a growing number of medicinal forest species are now classified as endangered, threatened, vulnerable, or protected under national and international conservation frameworks. This review synthesizes current scientific knowledge on endangered and protected medicinal plants found in forest ecosystems. A mixed-methods approach combining bibliometric assessment and qualitative literature analysis was employed to evaluate publication trends, geographical distribution, research hotspots, ecological characteristics, genetic resources, pharmacological properties, and conservation strategies related to threatened medicinal forest species. The review identified 77 medicinal plant species of conservation concern distributed across diverse forest regions worldwide, with the highest research activity originating from Asia, particularly India and China. The findings highlight the ecological importance and therapeutic potential of these species while emphasizing the critical threats posed by habitat degradation, unsustainable harvesting, and climate change. Advances in habitat suitability modeling, molecular genetics, ex situ propagation, and conservation planning have improved opportunities for species protection; however, significant knowledge gaps remain regarding population dynamics, long-term conservation effectiveness, and sustainable utilization. Strengthening integrated conservation approaches that combine habitat protection, sustainable management, scientific research, and traditional ecological knowledge is essential for safeguarding endangered medicinal forest plants and ensuring their continued contribution to biodiversity conservation, healthcare, and future drug discovery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants15152333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]],"date-time":"2026-07-29T11:45:14Z","timestamp":1785325514000},"page":"2333","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Endangered and Protected Medicinal Plants in Forest Ecosystems: Diversity, Conservation Status, Therapeutic Potential, and Management Strategies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-0693-056X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruben","family":"Budau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Silviculture and Forestry Engineering, Environmental Protection Faculty, University of Oradea, General Magheru Boulevard 26, 410048 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6732-5959","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariana Florica","family":"Bei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Engineering, Environmental Protection Faculty, University of Oradea, General Magheru Boulevard 26, 410048 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Danut Aurel","family":"Dejeu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departament Discipline Chirurgicale, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, Piata 1 Decembrie 10, 410073 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manuel Alexandru","family":"Gitea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture and Horticulture, Faculty of Environmental Protection, University of Oradea, General Magheru Boulevard 26, 410048 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucian","family":"Dinca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Research and Development in Forestry \u201cMarin Dracea\u201d, Eroilor 128, 077190 Voluntari, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cristinel","family":"Constandache","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Research and Development in Forestry \u201cMarin Dracea\u201d, Eroilor 128, 077190 Voluntari, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7107-2007","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriel","family":"Murariu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Physics and Environment, Faculty of Sciences and Environmental, Dun\u0103rea de Jos University Galati, Rom\u00e2neasc\u0103 Street No. 47, 800008 Galati, Romania"},{"name":"Rexdan Research Infrastructure, \u201cDunarea de Jos\u201d University of Galati, 800008 Galati, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrei Ioan","family":"Timofte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Silviculture and Forestry Engineering, Environmental Protection Faculty, University of Oradea, General Magheru Boulevard 26, 410048 Oradea, Romania"},{"name":"General Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, Piata 1 Decembrie 10, 410073 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniela","family":"Gitea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, 410048 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"69","article-title":"The value of plants used in traditional medicine for drug discovery","volume":"109","author":"Fabricant","year":"2001","journal-title":"Environ.
