Animal Products in Chinese Medicine

Global Concerns

Available for over a year

There is no evidence that animal-based treatments, such as tiger bone, used in Chinese medicines work, but people still continue to use them. Why? And how can you make people stop? Also on the programme deforestation in Virunga National Park after Rwanda's genocide, plus the world's largest wildlife sanctuary in Malaysia and Indonesia. Presented by Janet Davey
