Indian Forester, Vol 131, No 3 (2005), Pagination: 397-409Abstract
Urbanisation and scientific rediscovery is increasing the demand for herbal products, whose overharvest threatens 30% of the traded species. Sustainable harvest traditions are eroding due to (a) poor prices paid to the raw drug gatherers, (b) competition between, (c) market insecurity, (d) many youth gatherers and (e) vehicular mobility to new collection areas. To revive traditions through equitable benefit sharing, Gram Mooligai (i.e. Village Herbs) Company Limited (GMCL) was established, with gatherer's groups as shareholders in Tamil Nadu state in Southern India. Sustainable Biometric experiments could not continue or help in predicting yield but participant observations and "memory harvesting" revealed that focal species have become rare amongst 25% of their earlier collection areas. Major pressures other than harvest indude (a) scarce or untimely rainfall, (b) habitat encroachments and (c) grazing. To earn more better price and sustained business demand, GMCL gatberers maximised not quantity but quality tbrougb tbumb rules ("do's and don'ts") of sustainable barvesting practices: (a) appropriate babitat area (b) maturity timing (c) less damaging methods (d) proper post-harvest treatment (e) user (buyer, co-harvester) agreements.

During botanical studies conducted in Thiruvannamalai District of Tamil Nadu State, India as a part of compilation ofthe district flora, Tinospora sinensis (Lour.) Merr. was collected from Javvadhu ('Javadi') hills. It is a Red Listed medicinal plant which also forms an addition to the Flora of Tamil Nadu. It is presented here in detail with nomenclature, description, distribution data, threat status and medicinal information.- Tinospora sinensis (Lour.) Merr.

State Forest Departments (SFDs) of Andhra Pradesh , Karnataka , Kerala ,Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra , in consultation with FRLHT and the support of DANIIDA and UNDP have established 54 forest gene banks sites termed 'Medicinal Plant Conservation Areas (MPCA)'. The network of 54 MPCAs measuring 200 ha to 500 ha each established gradually since 1993 represents all forest types and large bio-climatic and soil regime variation. These gene banks harbour recorded populations of 45% of flowering and medicinal plants of Peninsular India , including 70% of the red listed. The intra-specific diversity i.e. germplasm conserved in the MPCA network can be used to provide authenticated quality planting material for commercial cultivation to meet rising demands of the herbal industry. MPCAs also constitute 'study sites' for threatened species recovery research. MPCAs have proved crucial in capacity building of forestry staff , local communities and researchers in the conservation of Medicinal Plants for sustainable use and equitable benefit sharing. This experience can help in implementing plans and programmes under the Biological Diversity Act 2002 , National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) and Medicinal Plants Board.- Rediscovery of Hopea canarensis Hole (Dipterocarpaceae) - an Endemic and Little Known Species from the Western Ghats of Karnataka, India
