Dear Colleagues,

The challenges and triumphs of decades of community forestry provide valuable insights into the core objectives of REDD+: reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation while benefitting people and ecosystems. The Forest Carbon, Markets and Communities (FCMC) Program is pleased to inform you that the suite of four reports on Lessons Learned from Community Forestry and Their Relevance for REDD+ is now available on the FCMC website. These reports and their accompanying briefs can be found HERE and include:

-          Africa regional report

-          Asia regional report

-          Latin America regional report

-          Synthesis  report of all three regional reports

The regional reports review lessons learned from decades of community forestry experiences in specific geographical locations, generating findings and recommendations for REDD+.  The synthesis report summarizes the conclusions of the three regional reports and provides broad thematic analysis of the linkage between community forestry and REDD+.

This e-mail is intended to disseminate information and/or results from FCMC. A number of reports and documents are already available under "Resources" at www.fcmcglobal.org. Although FCMC is funded by USAID, the content of this email, as well as the documents found on the FCMC website, do not necessarily represent an official policy or position of the US government in general, nor USAID in particular.

Thank you for your interest.

Best,

Scott

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...
