In order to fulfil our aims, NeoTropico has establisher its Consultancy Service, allowing our Organisation to offer scientific and technical advice to the corporate and public sectors in order to design, plan and co-ordinate activities ranging from identification of innovative South American ethnobotanical leads for foods, cosmetics, pesticides, medicines, and fibber products, to the implementation of primary health attention projects using medicinal plants and phytomedicines within local health care systems.

As a first step to design and implement a research programme for the search of new natural products of interest in the region, we have successfully started a Bank of Extracts of regional plants. Based on ethnopharmacological information, we have also created the Peruvian Medicinal Plants Database, one of the most biodiverse countries in South America, intended to assist and to be the first free on-line communication channel for researchers and market makers, providing complete, comprehensive, up-to-date and accurate information on Peruvian medicinal plants and natural products. This has been made possible thanks to our active involvement in the research of South American medicinal plants, reflected in our list of publications.

Besides increasing the pharmacological knowledge of the regions flora, the organisation´s interest is to guarantee a proper and efficient feedback of both information and benefits obtained by such activities towards local people and communities, since in many cases it is realised that these groups have played an important role in providing valuable material and information.
