PROTA
PROTA is an
international, not-for-profit foundation. It intends to synthesize the
dispersed information on the approximately 7,000 useful plants of
Tropical Africa and to provide wide access to the information through
Webdatabases, Books, CD-Rom’s and Special Products.
The objectives are to bring the published information, now accessible to the resourceful happy few, into the public domain. This will contribute to greater awareness and sustained use of the ‘world heritage of African useful plants’, with due respect for traditional knowledge and intellectual property rights.
