Bio-diversity

It s a research and information documentation and dissemination project aiming at conserving the medicinal plants commonly used in the Palestinian traditional medicine in Gaza and West Bank through promoting its sustainable use, documenting the indigenous knowledge of these plants which will ultimately contribute to launching a public awareness campaign among the local community to conserve these plants and establishing a restoration site for the medicinal domesticated plants particularly the most threatened in the BERC/Till garden. The study will be based on personal interviews with the healers, patients, farmers, consumers and traders. The data will be organized in a questionnaire which reveal critical concerns such as the degree of community awareness in relation to the use of medicinal plants, status of threats and vulnerability, cultivated lands, the amount of indigenous wild plants etc. A throug
