中国野生植物保护协会正组织相关科研机构，研究制定《药用植物保护和繁育规范》，同时开展与国际贸易标准的对接工作，推动中国中医药事业与世界经济的融合。

Chinese medicinal plants

China is the country with the richest plant resources in the world. There are about 36,512 species of higher  plants, accounting for about 11% of the world' stotal.

The diversity of plant species provided abundant resources for Chinese ancestors' foods, medicines   and horticulture, especially the use of plants to treat various diseases in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

For thousands of years, TCM has provided the basic guarantee for the health, reproduction and prosperity of the Chinese nation. TCM culture has been deeply rooted in the fertile soil of the traditional Chinese culture from the very beginning , and it has played a pivotal role in the Chinese civilization. There have been historical and cultural records of Chinese medicine in Chinese literatures since ancient times,such as Fu Xi's  Needles

and Shen Nong’s Herbs. Many ancient classics of TCM, contain extensive and profound medical theories, which are the great contributions of the Chinese people to the development of human civilization. The unity of nature and mankind, harmonious development, and a community of shared destiny are the direction of Chinese philosophy and natural science's millennia of exploration and pursuit. Promoting the culture of Chinese medicine is a great cause for the benefit of all mankind.

During the Warring States Period of China, there were 124 kinds of medicines recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Rivers

（Shan Hai Jing）, including about 51 kinds of botanical medicines.The  number of medicines recorded in"Fifty twoPrescriptions

for Diseases（Wushi’er Bingfang）"increased to 242, and there were 108 kinds of botanicals; the famous herbal monograph "ShenNong's Materia Medica   (Shen Nong Ben Cao Jin)" recorded 365 kinds of medicines, including 252 kinds of botanicals; During Ming Dynasty,China has entered the heyday of the development and utilization of TCM resources and the traditional medicine theories."Compendium of Materia Medica(Ben Cao Gang Mu)" contains 1892 kinds of medicinal materials, including 1094 kinds of botanicals.

人参 Panax ginseng

At present,  there are about 11,118 medicinal plant species known to exist in China, accounting for 40% of the world's medicinal plants, and is an important material basis for industries such as TCM, food, and health products. The development and utilization of medicinal plants provide foundation to many  poverty-stricken areas to achieve poverty alleviation and make China healthy.

灵芝 Ganoderma Lucidum

With the increasing demand for the development and production of Chinese medicine, health care products, cosmetics, etc.,the mismatch in the production methods of farmland medicinal plants, the protection and development of wild provenances,etc.

have become increasingly prominent, illegal purchases of wild medicinal plant resources become a phenomenon and the ever-expanding commercial interests have put tremendous pressure on the protection of wild medicinal plant resources. Excessive collection threatens the survival of populations and species, and at the same time has caused varying degrees of damage to the ecological environment and biodiversity.

柴胡 Bupleurum chinense

National natural resources and forestry administrative agency, enterprises and consumers are all aware that while wild medicinal plant resources are declining sharply,the yield and quality of herb medicines is also greatly affected, which to a large extent restricted the development of healthy China and TCM.

Faced with this challenge，it is necessary to  develop a  way to protect natrual resource，reduce excessive ecological damage, and at last achieve sustainable development,  produce high-quality medicinal plants to meet social needs.

Chinese researchers have adopted wild tending techniques to successfully artificially breed wild medicinal plants, and cultivating in forest nearly one million acres of Panax ginseng in Jilin and Liaoning, wild breeding one million acres of Forsythia suspensa in the Henan and Shanxi, cultivating  Gastrodia elata in Yunnan,Guizhou and Shaanxi; successfully introducing Fritillariaspp.in Sichuan province and Qinghai province;

successfully cultivating Aquilaria sinensis in Hainan, Guangdong,and Guangxi, and realizing  artificial fragrance-making technology. By the promotion of technology

and , it has effectively lifted many  local people out of poverty.

TCM has spread to 183 countries and regions. The Chinese Medicine Technical Committee (ISO/TC249) established in the International Organization forStandardization (ISO) promoted by China has issued 45 international standards for TCM, providing high-quality products to the world. TCM is rapidly integrating into the international medical system, making more and more contributions to human health and well-being. Especially in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, Chinese medicine has played a huge role.

In the future, China will strengthen the strict protection of wild medicinal plant resources, economize on the use of wild medicinal plants,  carry out scientific research, development and utilization of alternatives to rare and endangered Chinese herbal medicines, and minimize the destruction of wildresources,

standardize the commercial cultivation of medicinal plants, crop wild relatives (CWP)  and ecological planting to reduce demand pressure on wild populations. At the same time, it will ensure the scientific breeding of medicinal plant products and improve the quality of medicinal plants, make full use of the natural resources of the forest to realize the improvement of forest and grassland ecosystem services, promote the economic development of the forest and grassland, and boost farmers’ income.
