  • African Traditional Plant Knowledge in the Circum-Caribbean Region
    Journal of Ethnobiology 23(2): 167-185 Fall/Winter 2003 AFRICAN TRADITIONAL PLANT KNOWLEDGE IN THE CIRCUM-CARIBBEAN REGION JUDITH A. CARNEY Department of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90095 ABSTRACT.—The African diaspora to the Americas was one of plants as well as people. European slavers provisioned their human cargoes with African and other Old World useful plants, which enabled their enslaved work force and free ma- roons to establish them in their gardens. Africans were additionally familiar with many Asian plants from earlier crop exchanges with the Indian subcontinent. Their efforts established these plants in the contemporary Caribbean plant corpus. The recognition of pantropical genera of value for food, medicine, and in the practice of syncretic religions also appears to have played an important role in survival, as they share similar uses among black populations in the Caribbean as well as tropical Africa. This paper, which focuses on the plants of the Old World tropics that became established with slavery in the Caribbean, seeks to illuminate the botanical legacy of Africans in the circum-Caribbean region. Key words: African diaspora, Caribbean, ethnobotany, slaves, plant introductions. RESUME.—La diaspora africaine aux Ameriques ne s'est pas limitee aux person- nes, elle a egalement affecte les plantes. Les traiteurs d'esclaves ajoutaient a leur cargaison humaine des plantes exploitables dAfrique et du vieux monde pour les faire cultiver dans leurs jardins par les esclaves ou les marrons libres. En outre les Africains connaissaient beaucoup de plantes dAsie grace a de precedents echanges de cultures avec le sous-continent indien.

  • Mahanadi River Basin
    The Forum and Its Work The Forum (Forum for Policy Dialogue on Water Conflicts in India) is a dynamic initiative of individuals and institutions that has been in existence for the last ten years. Initiated by a handful of organisations that had come together to document conflicts and supported by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), it has now more than 250 individuals and organisations attached to it. The Forum has completed two phases of its work, the first centring on documentation, which also saw the publication of ‘Water Conflicts in MAHANADI RIVER BASIN India: A Million Revolts in the Making’, and a second phase where conflict documentation, conflict resolution and prevention were the core activities. Presently, the Forum is in its third phase where the emphasis of on backstopping conflict resolution. Apart from the core activities like documentation, capacity building, dissemination and outreach, the Forum would be intensively involved in A Situation Analysis right to water and sanitation, agriculture and industrial water use, environmental flows in the context of river basin management and groundwater as part of its thematic work. The Right to water and sanitation component is funded by WaterAid India. Arghyam Trust, Bangalore, which also funded the second phase, continues its funding for the Forums work in its third phase. The Forum’s Vision The Forum believes that it is important to safeguard ecology and environment in general and water resources in particular while ensuring that the poor and the disadvantaged population in our country is assured of the water it needs for its basic living and livelihood needs.

  • Medicobotanical Studies in Relation to Veterinary Medicine in Ekiti State, Nigeria: (1) Checklist of Botanicals Used for the Treatment of Poultry Diseases
    Ethnobotanical Leaflets 13: 40-46. 2009. Article URL http://www.ethnoleaflets.com/leaflets/ REFERENCE PRELUDE : VK 44 Ethnobotanical Leaflets 13: 40-46. 2009. Medicobotanical Studies in Relation to Veterinary Medicine in Ekiti State, Nigeria: (1) Checklist of Botanicals used for the Treatment of Poultry Diseases J. Kayode, M. K. Olanipekun and P. O. Tedela Department of Plant Science, University of Ado-Ekiti, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. E-mail: [email protected] Issued 04 January 2009 ABSTRACT A semi-structured questionnaire matrix and direct field observation were used to identify botanicals used for veterinary health care in the rural areas of Ekiti State, Nigeria. A total of 38 plants belonging to 27 families were valued for the treatments of poultry pests and diseases in the study area and the parts mostly utilized were the leaves. Features that enhanced the continuous utilization of these botanical species were identified and strategies that could further enhance their sustainability were also proposed. INTRODUCTION Ekiti State (7 025’- 8 020’, 5 000’- 6 000’) is located in the southwestern part of Nigeria. The state has a contiguous land mass of about 7000 sq. kilometers and over 75% of the 1.6million inhabitants of this area are farmers, most of whom are situated in rural areas (Kayode 1999). There are two climatic seasons, a dry season, which lasts from November to February and a rainy season, which lasts from March to October with an annual rainfall of about 1150mm (Kayode and Faluyi 1994). In Nigeria, ethnoveterinary practices still play important roles in many rural areas (Kudi and Myint 1999).

  • The Biological Activities and Therapeutic Potentials of Baicalein Extracted from Oroxylum Indicum: a Systematic Review
    molecules Review The Biological Activities and Therapeutic Potentials of Baicalein Extracted from Oroxylum indicum: A Systematic Review Nik Nur Hakimah Nik Salleh , Farah Amna Othman, Nur Alisa Kamarudin and Suat Cheng Tan * School of Health Sciences, Health Campus, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian 16150, Kelantan, Malaysia; [email protected] (N.N.H.N.S.); [email protected] (F.A.O.); [email protected] (N.A.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +60-9-7677776 Academic Editors: Giuseppe Caruso, Nicolò Musso and Claudia Giuseppina Fresta Received: 1 November 2020; Accepted: 23 November 2020; Published: 2 December 2020 Abstract: In Southeast Asia, traditional medicine has a longestablished history and plays an important role in the health care system. Various traditional medicinal plants have been used to treat diseases since ancient times and much of this traditional knowledge remains preserved today. Oroxylum indicum (beko plant) is one of the medicinal herb plants that is widely distributed throughout Asia. It is a versatile plant and almost every part of the plant is reported to possess a wide range of pharmacological activities. Many of the important bioactivities of this medicinal plant is related to the most abundant bioactive constituent found in this plant—the baicalein. Nonetheless, there is still no systematic review to report and vindicate the biological activities and therapeutic potential of baicalein extracted from O. indicum to treat human diseases. In this review, we aimed to systematically present in vivo and in vitro studies searched from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Google Scholar database up to 31 March 2020 based on keywords “Oroxylum indicum” and “baicalein”.

In this policy paper, we present Chloe MacLaren, Rothamsted Research the results of an emirate-wide botanical survey that explores how the plant species, present across Ras Al Introduction Khaimah, vary according to the Emirate’s geography. Ras Al Khaimah encompasses various natural habitats, including In total, 320 plant species were documented in mountain ranges, hills, coastal dunes, mangroves, gravel plains, and the survey, 293 of which were identified. Some of desert. These landscapes can seem universally harsh in their aridity or the recorded species are either uniquely found in salinity. However, the variations in environmental conditions, such as the Emirate or are rare and endangered. Four main temperature, water availability, and soil type, that define the habitats vegetation types have been identified in the Emirate: allow for a great diversity of flora and fauna. The complete range of coastal and lowland vegetation, plains vegetation, species present in Ras Al Khaimah has yet to be fully cataloged and low mountain vegetation, and high mountain investigated. There is a particular lack of information on the diversity vegetation. Within each of these, there are several and distributions of plants.

  • Edited Uses of Plants in St Lucia
    Biographical Note After raising her family and getting a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies, Verna came to St Lucia in 1982 as a Peace Corps volunteer. She helped set up the herbarium in the forestry department and went on innumerable collection field trips. She also interviewed many local herbalists and this resulted in this document detailing traditional herbal uses. She thanks Laurent Jean-Pierre and the forestry department for their help and support. In 1987 she returned to Oregon and worked for the U.S. Forest Service in the Silviculture Department, identifying plant communities and surveying for rare and endangered plants.

  • Water Privatization in Developing Countries: Principles, Implementations and Socio-Economic Consequences
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 10 (2015) 17-31 EISSN 2392-2192 Water privatization in developing countries: Principles, implementations and socio-economic consequences Sayan Bhattacharya1,*, Ayantika Banerjee2 1Department of Environmental Studies, Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata, India 2Department of Environmental science, Asutosh College, Kolkata, India *E-mail address: [email protected] , [email protected] ABSTRACT Water related problems are continuously affecting the social infrastructures and jeopardizing the productivity of modern globalized society. As the water crisis intensifies, several governments around the world are advocating a radical solution: the privatization, commoditization and mass diversion of water. Water privatization involves transferring of water resources control and/or water management services to private companies. The water management service may include operation and management, bill collection, treatment, distribution of water and waste water treatment in a community. The privatization of water has already happened in several developed countries and is being pushed in many developing countries through structural adjustment policies. Water privatization will invariably increase the price of this common property resource because there are hidden costs involved in water collection, purification and distribution systems. Increase in water consumption will be satisfied through the market dynamics often at the cost of the poor who cannot afford the increased water tariffs. The corporations will recover their costs by exploiting the consumers irrespective of their economic conditions. Another possible threat of water privatization is the unsustainable water extraction by the water corporations for maximizing profits and subsequent destructions of water bodies and aquifers. Corporations in search of profits can compromise on water quality in order to reduce costs.
