摘要:The demand for wildlife-based traditional Asian medicine is a major driver of unsustainable and often illegal com- mercial exploitation of numerous species around the world (TRAFFIC, 2008). This demand affects some of the world's most threatened and high-profile protected spe- cies such as tigers (Panthera tigris), Asian bears and all five of the worlds rhinos. Despite high level commitment and significant investments into the conservation of these species, populations are continuing to decline due to poaching for trade (Graham-Rowe, 2011)
