ETHNOBIOLOGY/SOCIOECONOMIC VALUE ASSESSMENT/COMMUNITY BASED CONSERVATION PROJECT

民族生物学、经济植物学和植物名录 将进行跨学科的行为生物学调查， 在选定的研究范围内，利用电脑 非洲药用植物信息系统（CISAMAP）。此数据库 将包括当地名称，传统用途，植物区系数据， 成分、保护现状、农艺数据和经济价值。 CISAMAP将以互动方式将ICBG的所有库存和其他区域库存联系起来。 数据库。该项目将从以下地点收集植物： 民族医学用途，生物多样性地块和随机从野生植物群， 筛选建议收集的植物的优先列表， 进一步的研究将使用一种战略，结合 计算机化的民族植物学信息评价结果 文献检索和化学分类学考虑。样本 收集的植物将存放在东道国的植物标本库。Afrimed 数据库将扩大到包括植物收集在拟议的 期该计划还将进行社会经济价值 评估研究区内的生物资源， * 量化森林产品的商业和非商业价值， 与其他土地使用方案的比较，并为 当地居民。将为西部的能力建设提供援助 非洲科学家通过民族植物学领域的正规培训， 野外分类、调查、经济价值评估和研究 管理AP-5将建立和维护公平的机制 通过信托基金并按照《联合国宪章》 ICBG的利益分享计划。该计划还将促进 国际生物多样性公约与其他区域生物勘探项目之间的联系， 非洲统一组织/南部非洲人权委员会。

The Associate Program on Ethnobiology, Economic Botany and Plant Inventory will conduct an interdisciplinary ethobiological survey and establish inventory of plants in selected study areas using the Computerized Information System of African Medicinal Plants (CISAMAP). This database will include information on local names, traditional uses, floristic data, constituents, conservation status, agronomic data and economic value. CISAMAP will link interactively all ICBG inventories and other regional databases. The Associate Program will undertake plant collection from ethnomedical uses, biodiversity plots and randomly from wild flora for screening. A prioritized list of plants recommended for collection and further studies will be generated using a strategy which combines the results of evaluation of the ethnobotanical information, computerized literature search and chemotaxonomic considerations. Voucher specimen of plants collected will be deposited at host country herbaria. The Afrimed database will be expanded to include plant collection during the proposed period. The Associate Program will also conduct a socioeconomic value assessment of the biological resources in the study area which seeks to quantify commercial and non-commercial value of forest products for comparison with other land use options as well as providing income to local resident. Assistance will be provided for capacity building of West African scientists through formal training in the areas of ethnobotany, field taxonomy, inventory, economic value assessment and research management. AP-5 will establish and maintain mechanism for equitable distribution of benefits through Trust Fund and in accordance with the Benefit Sharing Plan of the ICBG. The Associate Program will also foster a linkage between the ICBG and other regional bioprospecting projects such as ASCOPAP and OAU/STRC.
