Less than 1 percent of tropical plant species have been screened for medical applications, but even that tiny sample has yielded enormous benefits. The Forest is crucial for mans survival and “our inability to see whole forests, to understand that each structure has an indipensable function… is leading us towards forest destruction” (Berger 49).
