Gratitude is expressed to

Bevil Mabey, who supported Françoise Barbira Freedman with a personal grant at the Department of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge, to develop her post-doctoral field research on Amazonian plant medicine (1996-1999)
The Isaac Newton Trust, for a grant to support research and teaching related to the Traditional Medicine project in the Department of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge; Professor Dame Marilyn Strathern for her academic and personal support.
The British Academy, for a grant to support the development of the Traditional Medicine Project, the survey of Yakumamay by F. Barbira Freedman and S. Hugh-Jones and the academic visit of Peruvian botanist Elsa Rengifo to Cambridge (grant no. SG-37289). This grant also funded the development of this website.
Between 1997 and 2014, donors and visitors contributed to the running costs of Yakumamay (house maintenance, equipment, work parties, patrolling and legal work). Many thanks. Some visitors “bought” forest plot titles under a scheme encouraging foreigners to use ownership titles for conservation purposes, but this scheme is currently under legal scrutiny.
