The NGO Beica Mădulari RO develops the only integrated system applied to medicinal plants, a complete circuit from wild seed, study, conservation of virgin species (12 endemic and 2 allogeneic) through cultivation, conservation, processing to the natural bioenzymatic product, this system is built exclusively around medicinal plants as complete living biological systems, based on the principle of development, conservation and delivery of the entire holobiome, all with the ultimate goal of disseminating knowledge and educating communicators by offering the chance for their development.
What is implemented and functional:
In a year of activity through active partnerships with the Vâlcea Agricultural Directorate, the Faculty of Pharmacy - University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova and the Bucharest Metropolitan Library on scientific educational coordination activities, we managed to establish a material base (2000 sqm of protected spaces and 1000 sqm of free spaces for comparative culture) of culture and to implement a concept applied to 14 species of medicinal plants in applied study - wild Carpathian ecotypes collected from virgin areas (mostly from Polovragi) and allogeneic species (2 species) in acclimatization. A complete operational chain applied exclusively to medicinal plants: wild seed collection, controlled cultivation in greenhouses, systematic study of species and ecotypes, reversible preservation of holobionts at ambient temperature by the Sarcophagus Method (original), 100% natural enzymatic bioconversion, education and dissemination of knowledge through observations and applied studies provided free of charge – in 2025 over 180 students participated in extracurricular events and activities.
What makes this unprecedented for an NGO: no other non-governmental entity in the world dealing with medicinal plants operates the complete circuit - from wild seed to natural bioenzymatic final product - treating the plant at every stage as a holobiont: intact microbiome, active native enzymes, preserved biological matrix. This is not a laboratory, not a seed bank, not a processing unit. It is all of this, integrated under a single applied concept, in a single location, strictly on medicinal plants.
March 3, 2026 — World Wildlife Day Program:
Live demonstration of the Sarcophagus Method — medicinal plants preserved 6 months ago, rehydrated in commercially available plain water, holobionts returning to functional parameters.
Presentations on the integrated concept of medicinal plants-HOLOBIOM—40 students from 4 partner schools Presentation of the base for applied studies to university and school teachers — the open and free base for students and pupils, as a living research and education platform.
Signing of the Beică Charter — Declaration of the Seven Principles.
Wild seeds → Cultivation → Study → Conservation → Bioenzymation → Education → AI. Applied.
At BEICA “Life is not a noun, here it becomes a VERB.”

The Beica Charter is a declaration of principles for the integrated study and research of medicinal plants. Beica Mădulari RO NGO has developed the world's only integrated system applied to medicinal plants: a complete circuit from wild seed collection to the final natural bio-enzymatic product.
Our system is built exclusively around medicinal plants as complete living biological systems, based on the principle of developing, conserving, and delivering the entire holobiont. Our mission is to protect virgin species (including 12 endemic and 2 allogenic species) while educating communities and offering them development opportunities.
Implemented and Functional Milestones:
In just one year of activity, through active partnerships with the Vâlcea Agricultural Directorate, the Faculty of Pharmacy (UMF Craiova), and the Bucharest Metropolitan Library, we have established:
Infrastructure: 2,000 sqm of protected greenhouses and 1,000 sqm of open-field comparative plots.
Research: Applied study of 14 medicinal plant species (Carpathian wild ecotypes collected from pristine areas like Polovragi and 2 acclimated allogenic species).
Operational Chain: Wild seed collection → Controlled cultivation → Systematic study → Reversible conservation of holobionts at ambient temperature via the original "Sarcophagus Method" → 100% natural enzymatic bioconversion.
Impact: In 2025, over 180 students participated in our non-curricular educational activities.
What Makes Us Unique:
No other NGO in the world operates this complete circuit for medicinal plants. We treat the plant at every stage as a holobiont: intact microbiome, active native enzymes, and preserved biological matrix. This is not just a laboratory, a seed bank, or a processing unit—it is all of them integrated into a single applied concept.
March 3rd, 2026 — World Wildlife Day Program:
Live Demo of the Sarcophagus Method: Rehydrating plants preserved 6 months ago in standard bottled water, showing the holobionts returning to functional parameters.
The HOLOBIONT Concept: Presentations by 40 students from 3 partner schools on integrated medicinal plant systems.
Open Research Base: Presentation of our facilities to university and school faculty—offering free, open access for students as a living research platform.
The Beica Charter: Official signing of the Declaration of the Seven Principles.
The Lifecycle: Wild Seeds → Cultivation → Study → Conservation → Bio-enzymation → Education → Applied AI.
Outreach: Free distribution of official ONGWWD2026 promotional materials.
