Liu Shuying, member of CPPCC: strengthen the protection of medicinal plant resources

At the third session of the 11th CPPCC National Committee, Liu Shuying, member of the CPPCC National Committee and chairman of the Provincial Association for science and technology, submitted a proposal to the conference to strengthen the protection of medicinal plant resources and ensure the sustainable development of traditional Chinese medicine industry Liu Shuying said in an interview that natural medicinal resources are raw material workshops of traditional Chinese medicine industry With the growing demand for traditional Chinese medicine and health care products and the increasing demand for natural medicinal materials, the problem of lack of resources has become increasingly prominent, and the price of raw medicinal materials has been rising, which has become a bottleneck for the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry "The reason is that the awareness of resource protection of medicinal plants is weak, and the coordinated management between resource protection and production and management needs to be strengthened." Liu Shuying further analyzed that the disordered development of the industrialization of domestic enterprises and the low-cost plunder of foreign enterprises, and the disordered collection of traditional Chinese medicine seriously damaged some medicinal plant resources In addition, due to the deterioration of the ecological environment, a considerable number of planting resources are gradually reducing and disappearing, and some medicinal plant resources are not fully protected and utilized Some of them, at the cost of destroying the environment, produce useful medicinal materials, such as felling and planting ginseng "In addition, the traditional Chinese medicine industry is divorced from the cultivation of medicinal plants, and the state and enterprises have not paid enough attention to the cultivation of medicinal plants." In order to protect the resources of traditional Chinese medicine and ensure the sustainable development of traditional Chinese medicine industry, Liu Shuying proposed in the proposal that the state should formulate unified and feasible laws and regulations on the protection of environment, resources and biodiversity In the relevant documents that have been issued in our country, some laws and regulations are not clearly defined, even conflict with each other or have not adapted to the current situation, and some laws and regulations are not easy to operate, which makes it difficult for the production and operation enterprises of traditional Chinese medicine to implement Therefore, on the basis of fully investigating the distribution of medicinal plants, we should formulate unified, comprehensive and feasible regulations and development plans that are conducive to resource utilization, protection and sustainable development "A reasonable financial support mechanism should be established to ensure the implementation of pharmaceutical resource protection planning and measures." Liu Shuying suggested that the relevant departments of the state should formulate a subsidy scheme for planting medicinal materials based on the main components of Chinese patent medicines in the catalogue of essential drugs, and the financial department should give subsidies to the pharmaceutical farmers planting relevant Chinese medicinal materials At the same time, it is necessary to establish a management system for the distribution, quality control and safety of medicinal plant resources, investigate, analyze and evaluate the medicinal plant resources, and provide support for the planning, prediction, regulation and decision-making of the government, enterprises and scientific research units Liu Shuying suggested that a systematic project for quality control of Chinese herbal medicines should be established in accordance with gap standards In order to improve the international competitiveness of traditional Chinese medicine products, the quality control of traditional Chinese medicine is the first step in the production of traditional Chinese medicine The State shall formulate relevant policies to encourage Chinese medicine enterprises to explore the wild transformation and ex situ protection of medicinal plants, improve the quantity and quality of Chinese medicine resources available through artificial propagation, large-scale cultivation and Research on the substitutes of endangered species, and formulate the fingerprint spectrum of important species of Chinese medicine materials as soon as possible and in a planned way to prevent fish and eye from mixing At the same time, we should actively absorb the traditional knowledge about plant resource management and protection of the indigenous people in the centralized distribution area of traditional Chinese medicine, strengthen the breeding of improved varieties of traditional Chinese medicine, and scientifically solve the problem of how to maintain the authenticity of traditional Chinese medicine in the process of artificial cultivation In addition, priority should be given to supporting related scientific research projects, encouraging their basic and applied basic projects to be established and research to be carried out We should fully mobilize interdisciplinary talents, utilize modern biotechnology, such as fermentation technology and chemical synthesis methods to produce effective ingredients in medicinal plants to replace natural resources and achieve sustainable development Liu Shuying said that in a word, in order to make rational use of medicinal plant resources, we must resolutely put an end to predatory development and utilization such as "fishing with all the water" and "indiscriminate cutting", maintain its regeneration capacity, and ensure the sustainable development of traditional Chinese medicine.
