Project
"Wild herbs at home"
|
A
project is aimed at realizing the system of interaction among various structures
of community to involve wide layers of population into a real activity
carried out to preserve species of wild plants and to substantially
influence the state of health of population of a region. |
Project "Wild herbs
at home" (1997-98) has been financed by Institute
of sustainable communities (ISC) within the framework of a project
ROLL.
Tasks
of a project:
1. Attracting attention of public and administrative structures to necessity
of preserving wild herbs and possibility of substantial improving health
of population at the expense of inner resources of a region.
|
2.
Organizing growing wild medicinal herbs at back yards of rural schools
and country-cottage lots.
3.
Initiating the system of measures aimed at using medicinal raw materials,
grown up at schools and on coutry-cottage lots, in sanitation work
with population of Bryansk region. |
4. Preparation of methodological materials for replicating analogous activity
in Bryansk region and other regions of Russia.
Goals
of project:
-
To get valuable
and, what is very important today, cheap medicinal raw materials,
by taking which it is possible, using inner possibilities of a region,
to mitigate a tense state illnesses present in terms of lack of medicine
to treat those.
|
-
Create conditions
in a region to bring down the loading on natural populations of a whole
line of species of wild herbs.
-
Organize
a real interaction of various structures of a community to solve ecological
and social problems.
|
Project
allows:
-
To a substantial
part of population of a region to master ecological ways of agriculture,
to change attitude toward a problem of preserving biological variety
and satisfy oneself that it is possible by one's own forces to change a
situation for the better.
-
To develop and distribute
information and methodological materials for replicating experience of
a project in other regions in Russia.
-
To draw resources
of local communities to development of a project.
Substantial work
has been carried out with schools and garden associations on growing medicinal
herbs and improving health of children. A tear-off calendar (960c.) with
description of technology of cultivating medicinal herbs, a book "How to
grow herbs on one's own" (1,000c.) have been published and distributed
cost-free among the population. Experience of a project is replicated in
8 regions in Russia.
