FYI... Stefanie Rixecker ECOFEM Coordinator --- Forwarded message follows --- CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT Medicinal Plants , Traditional Medicines and Local Communities in Africa: Challenges and Opportunities of the next Millenium Dates: 16-19 May, 2000; Place: Nairobi, Kenya; in parallel to the COP-5 of the CBD We are pleased to inform interested parties that the Environment Liaison Centre International (ELCI) in collaboration with other organizations is planning to organize a four-day international conference on the promotion and development of medicinal plants and traditional medicine in Africa on 16-19 May 2000 in Nairobi, Kenya. The conference will be composed of a combination of presentations and workshops.The conference will be organized in parallel to the Fifth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP -5) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) to be held in Nairobi, Kenya, on 15-26 May 2000. CONFERENCE SCOPE AND AIMS Information relating to medicinal plants and traditional medicine can be found in documents and databases aimed at readers in a wide range of disciplines including botany, ecology, chemistry, medicine, veterinary science, etc. However there are few publications reporting current work or reviewing and analyzing recent advances in knowledge or in highlighting local experiences, challenges, constraints and opportunities in traditional medicine uses and in conservation and sustainable use and management of medicinal plants. In Africa and elsewhere, most publications related to medicinal plants and traditional medicine available have been produced on academic research work and on the conceptual foundations of African traditional medicine and its relationship with other medical systems. Access to these publications by the public, decision makers and local communities is still very limited because of their academic writing style and their unavailability. At the global level the Convention on Biological Diversity, an international treaty that has been signed by more than 160 member states of the United Nations provides an international legal framework for the conservation of biological diversity including access to and exchange of genetic materials and for bio-diversity prospecting. Many different approaches are being tried around the world to find ways to minimize, reduce and/or stop the loss of biodiversity, especially in the earth's biologically rich areas such as African tropical regions. Attaining the main goal of reducing habitat loss with its accompanying loss of biocultural diversity is still unfortunately some way off. The World Health Organization estimated that 80% of the population of developing countries rely on traditional medicines, mostly plant drugs for their primary health care needs. Also, modern pharmacopoeia still contain at least 25% drugs derived from plants and many others which are synthetic analogues built on prototype compounds isolated from plants. Demand for medicinal plants is increasing in both developing and developed countries and surprisingly, the bulk of the material traded is still from wild harvested sources on forest lands, as and only a very small number of species are cultivated. At the same time, the World Health Organization (WHO) has earmarked the year 2000 as the year which all should have access to health, a laudable goal which is still far from being achieved. Herbal medicines and traditional healers are receiving attention from mainstream health officials and international medical research and training institutions as governments confront the high cost and inefficiencies of official health programmes aimed at populations. The increasing cost of modern drugs coupled with the decline in the purchasing power of the African people caused by the weakening of the African currencies and the limited national resources make it mandatory that efforts should be intensified to produce drugs from plants in Africa. A number of international organizations now have started to support projects and programmes within Africa which are drawing on the cultural acceptability and economic accessibility of safe and effective traditional medical practices. On the other hand, in many African countries, there are no unified and coherent programmes to promote medicinal plants, traditional medicine and ethnopharmacology, nor to assure that biological resources are being harvested at a sustainable level. Several small isolated activities are being undertaken on individual basis without any institutional support and coordination at the national or regional levels. This situation often leads, to duplication of efforts or inefficient use of limited available resources. There are still gaps in knowledge of how traditional knowledge systems of health work, their limitations and prospects. Successful experiences and approaches on conservation and sustainable use of medicinal plants are still rare. With regard to research

FYI... Stefanie Rixecker ECOFEM Coordinator --- Forwarded message follows --- From: L. Frank [EMAIL PROTECTED] THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE: ECLIPSESE AND RE-EMERGENCES UTA Conference on the Suppressions and Reassertions of The Female Principle in Human Cultures. University of Texas at Arlington, March 30-April 1, 2000. This conference recognizes the suppression of femaleness as a primary meaning of Western and other cultures over a long period. It seeks to identify, document, account for, and interpret this suppression via the specific forms it takes from early periods to the present, and to identify and describe newly developing practices that counter it. Exposures, descriptions, and theorizations of such suppression may be essential to projecting a future for femaleness in human societies. We invite proposals from all fields of the humanities and the social and behavioral sciences. Papers may deal exclusively with suppressions (including concealments of suppression) and their cultural contexts, with the figures or contents suppressed, with examples of femaleness that uncharacteristically elude suppression or otherwise counter it, or with re-emergences, or combinations of these, and may draw on the following as a possible framework: Bearing a positive social value in an advanced Asian society as late as the seventh century, the female principle sinks into general anathema in the West by the time of classical civilization, and into near oblivion by the time of the early church. There it remains, under powerful forms of social repression, into the twentieth century. Then, via numerous separate discourses, pluralist thought creates a climate of opinion in which femaleness can re-emerge in literary, philosophical, religious, and other languages under a positive sign. Papers may be descriptive, an/or interpretive or theoretical accounts of specific forms of suppression, such as the sexual; of forms taken by coverups of suppression; of cultural contexts mandating suppression; and of femaleness eluding suppression or otherwise countering it--all these in discourses and social practices worldwide. Cross-disciplinary and new theoretical approaches are encouraged.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Forwarded Message Follows --- CALL FOR PAPERS May 27-31, 1998 Seventh International Symposium on Society and Resource Management Columbia, Missouri This biennial symposium focuses on the integration of the humanities and the social and natural sciences in addressing resource and environmental issues. A commitment to increasing the contributions and roles of the social sciences is particularly emphasized. The goal is to foster increased dialogue among natural resource managers, social scientists, policymakers, and resource management scientists. Exploration of the linkages between culture, environment, and society will be a guiding theme at the 1988 event. This thrust is based on the notion that complex resource issues are societal problems based in cultural systems and can be addressed by multidisciplinary perspectives. In addition, any presentations bringing a humanities or social science perspectives to resource and environmental issues will be welcomed. Symposium activities include concurrent paper and poster sessions, panel and round table discussions, film/video sessions, and various field trips. Hosted by the University of Missouri, the Symposium welcomes all researchers, managers, academicians, policy specialists, and students interested in the human aspects of resource management.

International Conference Announcement
International Conference: "Innovations and Partnerships: Working with Natural Resource Management, Gender and Local Communities in the Tropics," to be held March 30-April 1, 1995 in Gainesville, Florida, USA The 44th Annual Latin American Studies Conference of the University of Florida, will bring together researchers, field project personnel, and those working with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and other intermediary groups to discuss innovative approaches to gender and natural resource management issues. The objective of the conference is to strengthen partnerships among organizations of different kinds, in order to build longer term capacity for research, analysis, training, information exchange and institutional change at all levels. The concept of "coalition" is the organizing principle for the conference. Representatives from two or three partner organizations in a coalition will be invited to attend the conference, either sharing a presentation about their joint project or presenting different aspects of their collaboration. Funds to support trovel are limited, so most participants will be required to pay their own expenses; however, the conference organizers will assist in fund-raising. The conference format will be varied, including formal paper presentations, round-table discussions and participatory workshop sessions. The latter will be structured to facilitate comparison and discussion of problems and innovations, across sites and between different kinds of organizations.
