    Description

    Do indigenous peoples benefit when western science "discovers" their herbal medicines? This archival program is part of Pulse of the Planet's 30th anniversary celebration. Richard Evans Schultes (1915 - 2001), "the father of modern ethnobotany", inspired the film "Embrace of the Serpent". For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
