Joan Pérez-Botella (first at right) visits SKP sites, guided by local rangers and specialists in the knowledge of wild medicinal plants. As indicated in former messages, the Valencian PMR team, represented by the botanist Joan Pérez-Botella, visited the St.-Katherine Protectorate (SKP) at Sinai peninsule, Egypt, in order to assess the establishment of a future small network of plant microreseves, focused on endangered medicinal plants. The visit was scheduled by the end of May and first days of June 2007, and the mission report is being drafter to incorporate to the documentation of the Medicinal Plant Conservation Project (MCPC, see http://www.mcpcegypt.org/), funded by the GEF and the UNEP. This mission opens the door for future collaborations and the enlargement of the PMR philosophy to Northern Africa.
