Project objectives and activities

Analyze the regional baseline data on the identified
short listed rare and endangered
medicinal/ornamental plant species resources
and assess their populations in the field:

a) distribution
across the region

b) density of the populations

c) vitality and fertility of the plants

d)
threats

e) traditional use.

Preparation of data base and virtual maps for
determination of IUCN criteria and categories for
short listed medicinal/ornamental plants.

Development of recommendations to mitigate
influence of the stress factors and increase sustainability
of the populations in the wild: establishment
of reserved areas- seed banks- life plant
collections and improvement of legislative basis.

Cooperate with the extension and business
development specialists to assess possibilities of
on-farm production of the selected species and
prepare information for farmers and processors.

Supply the local population with information on
distribution- biology- threats- economically important
properties- on-farm production technology
and utilization of the selected species.
