WELCOME to Ethnobotanical Leaflets. Our Policy Corner has a new editorial that everyone interested in research funding should read, it's entitled, "NSF Extends Invitation for Ethnobotanical Workshop Proposal". In Ethno News you'll find a story about biowarfare being used for the elimination of drug plants and another on new herbal research at the University of Chicago. Also in this section is a story on the balsameros of Acachapa, El Salvador and the efforts that are underway to assist them in recovering their watershed from the devistation of Hurricane Mitch. The section on Worldwide Economic Botany Resources has an interesting link to "HerbalGrams," a publication of the American Botanical Council. There are also new links to various ethnobotanical projects and organizations around the world. This issue of Ethnobotanical Leaflets also features artist Karen Nisbett in the section entitled, Galleria Botanica. Enjoy. As always, contributions from our readers are welcome.
