Beneficial plants are everywhere
Medicinal, useful, and nutritious plants hold the potential to restore both human health and ecological balance.
BPRA’s mission is to protect these vital plants and preserve the invaluable indigenous and traditional knowledge that sustains them. When we protect these plants and their habitats, we honor ancient healing wisdom, safeguard biodiversity, and help our planet adapt to a changing climate.
Founded in 1979, and reinstated in 2024, BPRA is a nonprofit that supports the research of plants to improve human and planetary health.
Dr. Andrew Weil is one of the founding members of BPRA, who has dedicated in life to support health and wellbeing of mankind.
