ICEERS
International Center for Ethnobotanical Education, Research & Service
The International Center for Ethnobotanical Education, Research & Service is a philantropic, non-profit organization based in the Netherlands.
ICEERS is dedicated to integrating indigenous ethnobotanical knowledge with a modern framework, for the advancement of today's society.
For thousands of years, indigenous and pre-industrial societies mastered special plant species, known for its psychoactive properties, through religious and ritual use, to address medical, psychological and social issues critical to social relations and survival.
The importance and scope of these plant species for the human family, as tools for personal and social development, cannot be overstated.
Working on three fronts: Education, Research and Service - ICEERS is dedicated to marshal the forces of ancient, indigenous ethnobotanical knowledge and modern therapeutic practice for the purpose of answering the desperate cry for efficient tools for personal and social development.
Through addressing problems related to personal growth, family and social structures, the integrated, ethnobotanical practice empowers the intellectual, therapeutic and spiritual advance of
today's society and generates an
increased awareness concerning the importance of protecting indigenous cultures, their habitat and botanical resources.
Maintaining the highest professional standard and ethics.
The dissemination of only factual, science-supported information.
Adherence to a Collaborative and interdisciplinary approach.
Imparting Respect to indigenous traditional practice.
ICEERS is a global, collaborative initiative that is nothing without the involvement of professionals, academics, policy makers, representatives of indigenous cultures and all people in search for a better world.
To achieve this vision, we seek collaboration on a vast array of disciplines, resources and social networking. There are many way you can help...
