Medicinal Plant Evaluation for High-Carbon Ecosystems
Protecting high-carbon ecosystems can be challenging.
Incentivizing the monitoring of carbon dioxide absorption by plants by offering a technical evaluation of medicinal plants in the region. Many native cultures have traditions of the medicinal qualities of certain plants. If the plants can be surveyed and the region monitored for carbon dioxide absorption, an incentive could be that the plants can be evaluated by means of technologies such as molecular docking to see if computer simulations indicate medical applications for the plants.
The logic is that in order to survey and monitor CO2 absorption over a large area where native communities live, computer technology can evaluate if the plants have medical applications. The computer technology can be explained to the communities, which in turn can great technology job skills for future generations. The other benefit it that it can encourages the herbology of the community, possibly creating stronger native communities.
Monitoring at depth is also incentivized with the goal of monitoring root system of medicinal plants like Ginseng and so on.
Native communities
The innovation of the solution in terms of other applications.
- Support local economies that protect high-carbon ecosystems from development, including peatlands, mangroves, and forests.
- Pilot
It is a project can affordably help many people.
- Technology (e.g. software or hardware, web development/design, data analysis, etc.)
It protects high-carbon ecosystems by means of incentives that benefit native communities.
Molecular docking, which allows computer simulation of the medical effectiveness of specific molecules that could found in plants in high-carbon ecosystems.
