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

此次研究将考察从甘菊植物中开发产品的潜力。坎州人世代积累了大量的生态知识，了解这个地区的自然资源，被认为是澳大利亚最具生物多样性的地区之一。保护这些知识不仅对本州人，而且对整个国家的遗产都至关重要。该研究还通过研究心血管健康、糖尿病和癌症领域的新型药理活动，解决了国家优先事项“促进和保持良好健康”。合作研究伙伴关系将作为一个模式，以协助其他土著组织，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.
