Dear colleague

 

We are pleased to let you know about a  new country report from IIED:

 

 

Inclusive Green Growth in Zambia: Scoping the needs and potentials

 

Many countries are exploring their prospects for green growth. It has become a hot topic, proving attractive to governments, companies, and civil society groups alike. The 2012 Rio+20 Summit concluded that green growth is best defined and tailored according to the individual country context. This report describes Zambia’s approach to develop a Zambian Inclusive Green Growth Strategy under its Sixth National Development Plan. The Zambian definition for inclusive green growth, is ‘inclusive development that makes sustainable and equitable use of Zambia’s natural resources within ecological limits’. The report describes the changing international policy and financial context for inclusive green growth, reports on a workshop facilitated by IIED, and proposes initial steps to develop its operational Strategy.

More Than 50 Herbal Medicines Hold Possibility for Cancer Cure

More Than 50 Herbal Medicines Hold Possibility for Cancer Cure Researches explore the probability of some Chinese herbal medicines to be effective ingredients in making anticancer drugs. (Photo : Getty Images ) Medical experts and nutritionists have long acknowledged that fruits and vegetables contain anticancer properties. Mother Nature seemingly holds another key for cancer prevention and treatment . Chinese scientists learned that 57 kinds of medicinal plants commonly used in creating traditional Chinese medicine have anticancer components, reported Xinhua. Dai Shaoxing from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Beijing, however, said that additional research should be conducted to determine their full potential to cure cancer. The fruit of the medicinal plant Siraitia grosvenorii , for one, contains mogrosides, whose extract--the natural compound mogroside V--was tested for its antitumor effect and its probable capability to treat pancreatic cancer, accor...

Cytotoxicity of four Aframomum species (A. arundinaceum, A. alboviolaceum, A. kayserianum and A. polyanthum) towards multi-factorial drug resistant cancer cell lines

Cytotoxicity of four  Aframomum  species ( A. arundinaceum, A. alboviolaceum, A. kayserianum  and  A. polyanthum ) towards multi-factorial drug resistant cancer cell lines Background The search for natural products as potential cytotoxic agents has yielded promising candidates. However multidrug resistance (MDR) is still a major hurdle for patients receiving chemotherapy. In the present study, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of the methanol extracts of four dietary   Aframomum   plant species ( A. arundinaceum, A. alboviolaceum, A. kayserianum   and   A. polyanthum ) against nine sensitive and MDR cancer cell lines. We have also identified the bioactive constituents of   A. arundinaceum . Methods The cytotoxicity of the methanol extracts of the above plants was determined using a resazurin reduction assay. Chromatographic techniques were used to isolate the constituents of   A. arundinaceum. Results A preliminary experiment o...

Herbal medicine and medicinal plants

Forwarded from Ethnobotany group, thought it might be of interest to this group also: Dear Colleagues, I have just launched a new web site that I hope can be a group endeavor. In a way, this is my penance for writing a book that, if successful, would further endanger plants that are already in desperate need of protection. I have tried to think of everything that people need to know in order to wildcraft ethically, cultivate, conserve, and protect our medicine cabinet. The site is up: http://www.cancerplants.com/ The links are mostly to "under construction" because the idea is not to make this "my" site but rather to invite others to submit articles on medicinal plants used in cancer treatment. I want to focus on the habitat, the necessary conditions for growth, the availability of seeds or young plants, and the whole process whereby a plant moves from its place of growth to its final service as medicine. I will give people as much space as...
