Justification of Studies
According to Tabuti et al. (2003) and others, systematic studies on EVM can be justified for three main reasons:
- they can generate useful information needed to develop livestock healing practices and methods that are suited to the local environment,
- EVM could be a key veterinary resource and could add useful new drugs to the pharmacopoeia, and
- EVM can contribute to biodiversity conservation.
Besides, the overlap between natural resources traditionally used as medicines for both humans and animals may be indicative of the efficacy of these remedies

Famous quotes containing the words justification of and/or studies:
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Even the poor student studies and is taught only political economy, while that economy of living which is synonymous with philosophy is not even sincerely professed in our colleges. The consequence is, that while he is reading Adam Smith, Ricardo, and Say, he runs his father in debt irretrievably.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
