Objective: To discuss the strategies for sustainable use of wild Chinese materia medica resources(WCMMR).Methods: analyzed the status quo
problems and the reasons for the sustainable use of the WCMMR
and give the strategies both according to the international convention and the status quo of sustainable use of the WCMMR.Results: This paper think sustainable use of WCMMR face challenge
both genetic resources and intellectual properties of Chinese materia medica are damaged.It think the causes which lead pressure of sustainable use of WCMMR are as follows
1) Population increase over fast which lead demand ever increasing;2) Imbalance of conservation and utilization during WCMMR are used;3) Habitat losing due to the natural environment are destroyed;4) Inefficient management can not take efficient control for conservation of WCMMR.Conclusions: It propose the following principle for sustainable use of WCMMR
1) Both conservation and utilization should be concern together;2) Stress the preserve of the habitat of WCMMR;3) Refer to the international law for conservation of WCMMR;4) Stress the IP protection;5)Encourage the cultivation and alternative products exploited;6) Encourage the basic research for sustainable use of WCMMR.
