The uses of Kenyan aloes: An Analysis of Implications for Names, Distribution and Conservation
Background The genus Aloe is renowned for its medicinal and cosmetic properties and long history of use. Sixty-three Aloe species occur in Kenya, of which around 50 % are endemic. Several species of aloes are threatened with extinction and knowledge about their use is of major importance for sound conservation strategies. The main aims of this study were to assess the biocultural value of Aloe in Kenya by documenting local uses of aloes and evalu…
Ethnobotanical study of Hyacinthaceae and non-hyacinthaceous geophytes in selected districts of Malawi
This paper reports on the findings of a geophyte ethnobotanical survey in 15 selected districts of Malawi. The survey was initially driven by the need to document the use of Lilioid monocots of the family Hyacinthaceae and asses their conservation status. Altogether, 49 geophyte, both dicot and monocot species were documented as sources of food (24%), medicine (58%) and pesticides and ornamentals (18%). The most widely used plant species was Dios…
Environmental Risk and the Precautionary Principle: “Late Lessons from Early Warnings” Applied to Genetically Modified Plants
The environmental risk associated with genetically modified organisms (GMO) implies that new approaches to risk assessment, risk management and risk communication are needed. In this paper we discuss the role of the precautionary principle in policy responses to GMO risk. We first discuss application of the criteria in the European Environment Agency report “Late lessons from early warnings: The precautionary principle 1896–2000” to environmental…
