Hi all'
My wife being in the medical field tells me that most new
and old medicines come or came from nature. For instance
the asprine comes from the lowly or is it highly Willow
tree. Studies have been ongoing  for natures cures in the
sea for years. Cancer cure now in progress from sharks.
Other remidies from seasnakes, conus etc. ALso all the
plants in the world, sea or land, specially in the
rainforests. Best of luck to them all.
Fred in Minnesota.

Another reason to preserve?
