Why wild Taxus is so rare

Taxol, the secondary metabolite of Taxus chinensis, is the most popular antitumor drug in the international market in recent years. It has a unique antitumor mechanism and significant antitumor effect. In the past, ordinary Taxus chinensis has become a treasure that can earn money. All kinds of destructive poaching and destructive collection are also followed. Because the content of taxol in Taxus chinensis is very low However, the number of wild Taxus is rare and the growth speed is very slow, so the wild resources are far from meeting the needs of such large-scale production and processing, and the contradiction between supply and demand is extremely prominent. It can even be said that the current situation of the endangered Taxus has not been improved, but to face greater damage and destruction.

In order to protect this precious natural resource from extinction, many countries have banned logging. At present, all Taxus originated in China are listed in Appendix II of cites, and the international trade of Taxus and its products is strictly controlled. In the list of national key protected wild plants (the first batch) approved and published by the State Council in 1999, all Taxus originated in China are listed as national first-class protected plants, without special circumstances In addition, harvesting is prohibited.

In order to strengthen the protection of Taxus resources and the export management of Taxus products, and promote the cultivation of artificial resources, the State Forestry Administration issued the notice on strengthening the protection and management of Taxus resources and the emergency notice on Further Strengthening the management of Taxus Resources in 2002 and 2005, in order to strengthen the protection of Taxus resources and guide the operation and utilization behaviors To strengthen information communication and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the industry, China Wildlife Protection Association established the yew Conservation Committee in November 2006.
