Background

Since ancient times, different people and cultures worldwide have received benefits from keeping alive traditional knowledge and techniques in cultivating and using botanical, herbal and naturally derived medicines. Unfortunately, these valuable resources are easily falling victim to exploitation of chemical technologies, used by economically strong countries, such as isolating the active ingredients and developing them into new therapeutic reagents. In order to avoid such unfair or possibly illegal situations, as well as keep alive biological diversity and resourcefulness, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) has been established. In addition, international transfer of such biological resources is now restricted. International understanding and mutual agreement are now crucial in taking steps towards a beneficial relationship between “Biologically Resource-Rich” and “Technologically Resource-Rich” countries.
Aside from these international issues, many “Biologically Resource-Rich” rural areas now face other urgent concerns such as rapid aging and decrease in population. Novel and effective community-based health care with well-trained young professionals now need our urgent and immediate attention. In this symposium, we will discuss these types of issues with 6 researchers invited from 6 foreign countries. We expect to share and exchange knowledge, ideas and information with all the attendees.

The official language of this symposium is English.
Each speaker has 55 min talk including discussion.
