Chinese medicine is a leading cause of species endangerment in Asia or is it ...
Richard Ellis, author of Tiger Bone and Rhino Horn, discusses which animals are in danger, and what’s being done about it. This interview was conducted in 2005. Richard Ellis is critizicing the Chinese Medical community for using endangered species but fail to mention the big movement of Chinese Medical Practitioners that has banned all use of endangered species. Any serious College that educates Practitioners of Chinese Medicine in the USA or Europe will substitute alternative remedies in formulas that contain endangered species.There is a black market out there for remedies made from endangered species but any Professional Chinese Medical Practitioner condemn the use of such remedies.
