Evidence or delusion: a critique of contemporary rhino horn demand reduction strategies

Hoai Nam Dang Vu et al.

Summary: Efforts to reduce rhino horn demand by changing consumer behavior face challenges due to the long history of rhino horn use in traditional medicine and limited scientific evidence evaluating its efficacy. Difficulties in interviewing rhino horn consumers have also contributed to a lack of understanding about their values and characteristics. More scientific evidence and a culturally nuanced approach are needed for effective rhino horn demand reduction campaigns.

Exploitation Histories of Pangolins and Endemic Pheasants on Hainan Island, China: Baselines and Shifting Social Norms

Yifu Wang et al.

Summary: The study shows that the historical wildlife consumption patterns in Hainan Island have had a profound impact on the current wild meat consumption habits of the local population. Consumption of pangolin meat was non-traditional and influenced by local myths, while consumption of peacock-pheasant meat was a traditional activity. The attitudes towards hunting pangolins and peacock-pheasants in Hainan were shaped by government policies and wildlife trade during the 1960s to 1980s.

What is TCM? A conservation-relevant taxonomy of traditional Chinese medicine

Tom P. Moorhouse et al.

Summary: Global wildlife trade impacts around 24% of terrestrial vertebrates, with demand for traditional medicinal materials, especially traditional Chinese medicine, being a major driver. The classification of TCM into three components - zhongyi, TCM, and CMP - reveals distinct markets and communities within the industry, which could aid in developing strategies for reducing demand and redirecting towards more sustainable practices. This approach highlights the need to engage with official TCM authorities, professional bodies, academics, and practitioners to address concerns related to species conservation and animal welfare.

China's Legalization of Domestic Rhino Horn Trade: Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner Perspectives and the Likelihood of Prescription

Hubert Cheung et al.

Summary: The study found that most TCM practitioners in Guangdong support the legalization of rhino horn trade, but do not believe it would increase their use of rhino horn, as suitable clinical cases are rare. Additionally, some practitioners are open to using synthetic horn, which has implications for the viability of synthetic horn as a conservation tool.
