image of Introduction

China, the origin of and biggest centre of production for many medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP) materials used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), produces a wide variety of plant-based herbal medicines and ingredients that are consumed within China and worldwide. However, wild TCM plant resources in China, as in other parts of the world, are under threat. Populations are declining across the country, in large part because of overharvesting to meet high demand from the TCM and herbal products industry. Market-based tools for the sustainability of wild-sourcing in China are still developing.
