Description
This database was extracted from the four collections of reference specimens on medicinal plants deposited at the CNARP herbarium: http://ipt.madbif.mg/resource?r=medicinal_plants_orstom_cnarp&v=1.0, http://ipt.madbif.mg/resource?r=medecinal_plants_cnarp&v=1.0, http://ipt.madbif.mg/resource?r=medecinal_plants_nci_cnarp&v=1.0 and http://ipt.madbif.mg/resource?r=medecinal_plants_icbg_cnarp&v=1.1
Data Records

Project Data
The digitization of the reference specimens of medicinal plants conserved at the CNARP herbarium was initiated during SEP-CEPDEC 1, the BID program allowed to continuing the digitization of some threatened and invasive species. (https://www.gbif.org/project/82750/capacity-building-and-biodiversity-data-mobilization-for-conservation-and-policy-in-africa). The digitization in itself was carried out by CNARP team and data cleaning, further georeferencing, formating and publishing were assured by MadBIF team
| Title | Mobilization of reference specimens data on the Sapotaceae family owned by CNARP for conservation, sustainable use and decision making in Madagascar |

| Identifier | BID-AF2015-0066-REG |
| Funding | The project is funded by the European Union through the BID program coordinated by GBIF. |
| Study Area Description | Invasives alien species and endangered species were the two firsts of the 8 priority areas defined by the ACM in its WP 2015-2016. In this regard, the consortium retained 8 families of each category for the project. the Sapotaceae family was one of the endangered priority family |

Sampling Methods
All of the Sapotaceae familiy specimens from the herbarium were digitized. Those specimens were collected from the Malagasy territory
| Study Extent | The digitization program concerns all specimens of the targeted families owned by CNARP. Those specimens were collected from the Malagasy territory |
