Healing with good nature

Article Abstract:

Ethnobotanist, Paul Alan Cox, is an environmental science professor from Upsala University, and is concerned about loss of biodiversity and loss of knowledge of natural remedies. He uses a helicopter to gain access to difficult sites, and grows seeds himself to preserve them. He has discovered a number of natural remedies, but has failed to achieve a goal of finding a cure for breast cancer. Local people benefit from Samoa from the development of a drug with potential as an HIV treatment, in recognition of their intellectual property rights.
