The Government, specifically
Forestry Departments, should designate and protect
as heritage sites those areas in each district which
are traditionally renowned for their medicinal plant
and mineral resources, including sacred groves, maintain
a community/scared medicinal garden, museum and database.
NGOs/CBOs should promote home herbal gardens for human
and livestock health care. Women's self-help groups
could have a unique role in this.
The Medicinal Plants Board should encourage pilot
commercial cultivations of threatened medicinal plants
ineach district.
