Focusing on the values of medicinal plants and bioprospecting in post-apartheid South Africa, the book explores the intersection of commercial interests and human rights. It highlights the challenges arising from claims made by indigenous communities for political leverage and cultural identity. By addressing the complex issues of benefit-sharing and the protection of indigenous knowledge, it contributes to ongoing discussions about ethical practices in bioprospecting and the preservation of cultural heritage in a changing political landscape.
