There are several fundamental reasons for applying the approaches and methods of Applied Ethnobotany for these purposes. First, they allow the knowledge, wisdom and practices of local people to play fuller roles in identifying and finding solutions to problems of conservation and sustainable development. Second, local people are fully involved in investigations, so that there is a better chance of `buy in'. Third, realistic case-studies of ways of balancing conservation with use become available, which is valuable for informing the development of realistic national policies. Over 100 people - many practising ethnobotanists or educators - have been consulted, partly through special workshops or studies undertaken for this purpose. They have been in China, the Dominican Republic (covering eight Latin American countries), Ethiopia, Kenya, Malaysia, Pakistan, Tanzania and Uganda
