Abstract

This project aims at demonstrating sustainable livelihood opportunities for the rural poor, while arresting natural resource degradation and maintaining bio-diversity. In South Asia valuable medicinal aromatic and dye plants (MADPs) — herbs, shrubs, trees and vines are found mostly in fragile ecosystems predominantly inhabited by rural poor and Indigenous communities. The report has identified a 'first short-list' of prioritised MADP species, for further investigation. The Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Program in Asia (MAPPA) is a program of strategic research, networking and collaboration to address issues related to the equitable use of medicinal and aromatic plants in Asia.
