Pharmacological investigation of medicinal plant products from Kaanju Homelands, Wenlock and Pascoe Rivers, Cape York Peninsula

这项研究将考察从卡安州本土的植物中开发产品的潜力。卡安居人世世代代积累了丰富的生态知识，关于这个被公认为澳大利亚生物多样性最丰富的地区的自然资源。保存这一知识不仅对坎州人，而且对整个国家的遗产都是至关重要的。这项研究还通过对心血管健康、糖尿病和癌症领域的新药理活性的调查，阐述了国家优先考虑的‘促进和维持良好健康’。合作研究伙伴关系将成为帮助其他土著组织的典范，特别是在农村和偏远地区。

This research will examine the potential for products to be developed from plants on Kaanju homelands. Kaanju people have an immense ecological knowledge accumulated over generations, about the natural resources in an area recognised as being one of Australia's most biologically diverse. Preservation of this knowledge is critical not only to Kaanju people but to the heritage of the Nation as a whole. The research also addresses the National priority 'Promoting & maintaining good health' through the investigation of novel pharmacological activities in areas of cardiovascular health, diabetes and cancer. The collaborative research partnership will serve as a model to assist other Aboriginal organisations, particularly in rural & remote areas.
