part of a larger exhibition, mela or any other gathering.They inform, in a visually
striking way, about topics like habitats, habits, botanical families and traditional
knowledge related to medicinal plants. The end user could fall under any of
the following categories - NGOs, Educational Institutions and Herbal industries,

Red-List of Medicinal Plants of South India (poster)
Over
4000 species of vascular plants are found in South India (Karnataka, Kerala
and Tamil Nadu), of which nearly 2000 are used in classical health systems,
like Ayurveda and Siddha, as well as in folk medicine traditions followed by
thousands of ethnic communities. Most of these plants are facing various degrees
of threats to their survival in the wild due to their over-exploitation and
degradation, disturbance and outright loss of their natural habitats. It is
important that the wild populations of the medicinal plants must thrive, because
they represent some of our very valuable genetic resources as well as essential
raw materials for propagation and cultivation of the plants outside their natural
habitats for use by the indigenous medical practitioners of local health traditions
as also by drug manufacturers. These wild medicinal plants also form a substantial
part of our plant diversity, the conservation of which is critical to the health
of our eco-systems.

Health (poster)
Green
Health is a movement to create public awareness about our time tested health
traditions of using common medicinal plants to achieve self reliance in primary
healthcare. Green Health needs the active involvement of Government agencies,
environment and health NGOs as well as other organisations concerned with promoting
public participation in afforestatation, horticulture, watershed development
and health care. FRLHT has published a series of brochures, posters and illustrated
manuals in English, Kannada, Tamil and Malayalam on how to grow medicinal plants
in a nursery and how to use these plants for primary healthcare.
