Rainforest for Health: A Travelling Expedition
The project is a jointly funded activity by the Centre, GEF/SGP, and the Royal Netherlands Embassy of Ghana to show a travelling exhibition prepared by the Rainforest Medical Foundation (RMF) to a wide spectrum of audience in the southern rainforest region of Ghana. The emphasis of the exhibition is to show the significance of the loss of medicinal plants and diseases of and from deforestation particularly because hitherto not much attention had been given to the impending rainforest ?catastrophe?. ?It is generally accepted that medicinal plants provide the raw materials for at least 25 % of allotrophic western drugs?. The exhibits travelled to all 7 Regional capitals in the forest zone of Ghana and received high recommendation.
