A State Natural History Museum should be established, operated by museum science specialists and housing specimens and associated equipment. The collection of specimens will show the evolutionary process at the regional level, which is the foundation for protection and restoration. The State Natural History Museum will convey the process of evolution and natural resource management to the general public. Special care should be taken to preserve type specimens, and protection and management of collections should be strengthened. The many scattered collections are useful for local scientific work and reference, but should be electronically catalogued into the State Natural History Museum. Important collections meeting national standards of specimen care and preservation should be registered as part of the national collection and receive grants to help with their maintenance.

Address taxonomic problems of key difficult species groups by production of clear, up-to-date identification guides and keys.

Offer incentives to encourage taxonomic study. Field data collection and specialist training should be strengthened. Information systems should be established according to the dimensions, complexity and Chinese Red List of Endangered Plants (accounting for 6.57%). Therefore, there is a connection between endangered plants and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). And, as with other species found in trade, indiscriminate use of species for TCM may jeopardize populations of non-listed species.

Measures proposed: Establish comprehensive management system that strictly prevents the use of illegal destructive hunting measures, such as illegal weapons, poison, explosives, etc., and all trade in key endangered species. Set proper hunting quotas for common species to ensure sustainable harvest and trade.

Strengthen Customs regulations, and train customs staff in intervention of illegal wildlife trade. Restrict the number of ports to increase efficiency of customs measures directed at illegally transported wildlife.
