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. 606 $aTraditional medicine 606 $aAnimals 615 0$aTraditional medicine. 615 0$aAnimals. 676 $a615.85158 701 $aAlves$b Romulo Romeu Nobrega$01064350 701 $aRosa$b Ierece Lucena$01064351 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437851903321 996 $aAnimals in traditional folk medicine$92537569 997 $aUNINA
