Project Update: June 2010

From April – June 2010 we continued the case study with field trips and administered questionnaires to traditional practitioners for the identification of medicinal wildlife species. We’ve so far got information from 48 traditional practitioners contacted and identified 49 medicinal species, for 57 medicinal usages.
