Gabon is the territory of origin of Tabernanthe iboga, a plant of profound spiritual, medicinal and cultural importance for Bwiti traditions and other practices of the peoples of Central Africa. The country plays a central role in debates on the protection of iboga, biocultural heritage, sustainability of supply and the rights of communities holding traditional knowledge in the context of the global expansion of ibogaine therapies. This page gathers content related to Gabon and ICEERS’ work in connection with it.
