Use of Herbs and Medicinal Plants
Criação de Mudas de Ervas e Plantas Medicinais
Medicinal herbs and plants will be reproduced in this project, which will also create a distribution center for seedlings destined for the local health nuclei. The threatened medicinal plant species will be conserved and replenished before they become extinct in the region. Seedling transportation bags will be acquired and prepared, while the organic fertilizer will be prepared. An irrigation system will be installed. Seedlings and seeds will be collected in the wild. Disorderly and predatory collection of these plants has nearly depleted their stock. Actions to prevent their extinction are necessary in the short run.

Project Characteristics and Results
Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods
?Help us and we too shall become providers of assistance for those in need and the environment?. This project intends to not only strengthen the cultural tradition of using medicinal plants and herbs, but also to bring the community together in an effort to create independence and dignity for the impoverished population. Small community businesses are expected to bring improvements in the quality of life of the regional communities. In the meantime, the environment will benefit from the protection of the nearly extinct medicinal plant and herb species ubiquitously used in local medicinal practices.
