dc.descriptionAppendix 1b of final reporten
dc.description.abstractThe article reports on the Itzamma ethnobotanical garden in Belize, where healers have transplanted a hundred different species of medicinal plants from inaccessible areas of the Maya mountains. The garden was developed by the Belize Indigenous Training Institute, a donation of land by the Government of Belize, and research by botanists at the University of Ottawa and medical scientists from Cleveland State University. Maya youth are also participating so that this traditional knowledge can be passed on to the next generation. With the medicinal plants domesticated close by, healers can treat patients without having to go on long journeys to find rare plants.en
