estimated mean benefits of ethnomedicines per year at approximately US$ 5.40–7.90 per person, $ 30.20–44.30 per household, and between $ 756,050 and $ 1,110,220 for all residents. Regarding potential value of the Makira rainforest area through the lens of commercial pharmaceutical development, based on a calculation of 1 to 18 potentially novel drugs derived from ethnomedicines used in the area, and using current average sales value of novel FDA-approved pharmaceuticals, the author estimated that the protected area "could hold between $ 316 million to almost $ 6 billion of untapped revenue within its botanical diversity."
