Healing Power of Nature

Description

Yet everywhere, plants that were once common are decreasing in number. Many species are threatened, and traditional knowledge is disappearing.

From Nepal, where medicinal plants from the wild play an essential role in traditional and modern medicine to Namibia where the harvesting of the "Devil´s Claw" is already carried out in a sustainable way, the film shows and offers solutions to a global problem.

Three major NGO´s in co-operation with other partners, have developed an international standard for the sustainable use of medicinal plants as part of their efforts to protect biological diversity, maintain human health and ensure social justice.
