Markets are rich in #medicinalplants, & Gumi Shuka in Yerevan is no exception.
A visit is never just about buying. You get local names & uses, preparations. Sometimes, without even asking a single question.
For instance, the lady mentioned aveluk, maybe you use it too but not in soup. #ethnobotany

O patrão do porto
Btw did you know #Portugal comes from Portus Cale?
It was a small Roman port known today as #Porto. In the Middle Ages, the region became the County of Portucale. That’s where the Kingdom of Portugal was born in the 12th century.
So yes, it all started here ⚓✨

Trying to reunite baby bats with their mother 🦇🦇
After a call to the 🇸🇮 bat rescue centre, we placed them in a warm cardboard box.
At dusk, we set the box near where we found them. We set up a camera for a few images, then removed everything to give them the best chance of survival

The intersection of natural heritage and collective memory is crucial. How can we better preserve and acknowledge these histories? #art #history #herbalremedies #materiamedica #herbarium
As part of a new initiative, we seek to critically examine our complex histories, ensuring the preservation of the collective memory of these practices and emphasising the importance of acknowledging the intersectionality of natural heritage.

Vance, you absolute bloody plonker !
Vance is now backpedalling furiously, I see. Only the UK & France had proposed anything approaching scale of 20k troops, so I don't see how he would be referring to anyone else. But let's take smaller states, then. Denmark & Estonia took same casualties per capita as America in Afghanistan.
