Conserving the Pharmacy of Nature: World Wildlife Day 2026 🌍

March 3rd, 2026; 15:OO CEST via Zoom, free online registration.

Medicinal and aromatic plants are more than just flora; they are the foundation of global health, cultural heritage, and the livelihoods of millions.
At the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Products Chemistry (https://ga-online.org/), we are committed to advancing research, education, and collaboration that strengthen sustainable practices across the full spectrum of medicinal plant and natural product science. We urge the global research community to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and habitat preservation. Our work in natural products research is only possible if we ensure that wildlife includes all species that keep the world healthy.
Join the conversation with the GA community and regional representatives across the globe.

“OneHealthMedPlants: Sustainable Use of Medicinal Plants for One Health” is a scientific event dedicated to highlighting the role of medicinal plants within the One Health framework, integrating human, animal, and environmental health. The event will feature oral presentations and poster sessions presenting ongoing research in the fields of medicinal plants, phytochemistry, bioactivity, and sustainability.

To celebrate the World Wildlife Day, we are creating a wild herb garden on our grounds for local schools. On March 3rd, we will present these species and their uses via the social network "Nebenann.de".

In 2026, World Wildlife Day (WWD2026) will shine a spotlight on the critical role of medicinal and aromatic plants.

Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are essential for both human health and ecological balance. Around the world, people collect and use MAPs, including roses, hydrangeas and hummingbirds are primarily attracted to the vibrant colors of roses and hydrangeas rather than their nectar. Roses, particularly their petals and hips, offer medicinal benefits like rich antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, astringent, and mood-boosting properties, used for skin care (soothing irritation, hydrating), digestion (IBS, cramps), heart health (blood pressure), PMS relief (cramps, headaches), and as immune support due to high Vitamin C in rose hips, commonly consumed as teas, tinctures, or topical applications like rosewater and oils. Hydrangea root (Hydrangea arborescens) is primarily used in traditional herbal medicine as a diuretic and to support urinary tract health, particularly for managing kidney stones, bladder infections, and gravel. Its compounds, such as coumarin, offer anti-inflammatory effects. It is commonly consumed as teas, tinctures, or capsules.
