Hi, I came across this: Medicinal Plants Conservation Centre encourages conservation, supports local livelihoods and improves the health of rural communities in the Indian state of Maharashtra, focusing on the revitalization of traditional health practices and use of medicinal plants. In cooperation with the state Forest Department, and with local communities in the lead, MPCC uses nurseries and commercial herbal production centers to sell sustainably cultivated medicinal plants....
