Conservation and development of plant-based traditional
WHY US?
In Uganda, many of the population rely on traditional, mostly herbal medicine for primary health care. However, TM in Uganda is confronted with losing its natural, cultural, and intellectual resources. Not only plants but especially forests also are threatened, and the knowledge of TM application is about to be lost. This must be addressed if TM is to be ensured as part of future primary health care, a source of innovation, and a socially and environmentally stabilizing cultural heritage.
