Dear All,

 

Please join us for the next WWF Forest and Climate Programme online REDD+ Learning Session on Wednesday, May 28 at 11AM EDT/5PM CEST.

 

Learning Session: Developing Allometric Equations for REDD+ MRV

 

When: Wednesday, May 28 at 11AM EDT/5PM CEST

 

What:   In this webinar, Rosa C. Goodman, an independent consultant working in forest conservation and sustainable management, will use the example of the southwestern Amazon to explain where and why new allometric models may need to be developed for REDD+ measurement, reporting and verification (MRV). More generally, Rosa will discuss how to design an unbiased sampling strategy, go about the field work, and develop and select new models. She will show how new models can increase accuracy for individual tree biomass estimates and change regional estimates and offer recommendations for future biomass and allometry work. 

A Q+A session will follow the presentation. 

Register: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3267546605900553217

 

This is a free, open event. Please help us spread the word by sharing this announcement with any contacts who may be interested.

 

Thanks,

 

Breen

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...

A world-wide trend to return to nature has increased the consumers of herbal products be it for medical reasons, for aesthetic value or cosmetic purposes. It is estimated that approximately 119 substances found in pharmaceuticals used the world over are obtained from plants.   This includes about 90 different species of plants, many of which are native to developing countries   In Sri Lanka, utilising plant extracts for various purposes is a way of life for most of the islands...
