People have relied on medicinal products derived from natural
sources for millennia, and animals have long been an important part
of that repertoire; nearly all cultures, from ancient times to the
present, have used animals as a source of medicine. Ingredients
derived from wild animals are not only widely used in traditional
remedies, but are also increasingly valued as raw materials in the
preparation of modern medicines. Regrettably, the unsustainable use
of plants and animals in traditional medicine is recognized as a
threat to wildlife conservation, as a result of which discussions
concerning the links between traditional medicine and biodiversity
are becoming increasingly imperative, particularly in view of the
fact that folk medicine is the primary source of health care for
80% of the world's population. This book discusses the role of
animals in traditional folk medicine and its meaning for wildlife
conservation. We hope to further stimulate further discussions
about the use of biodiversity and its implications for wildlife
conservation strategies.
