Changing people's attitudes toward medicinal wildlife products must be done in a way that neither denigrates traditional beliefs nor tries to coerce people into new beliefs. Such an approach must be based on a sensitivity and understanding of local community needs. Media campaigns and educational programs carried out by respected members of local communities can succeed in promoting a greater understanding about medicinal alternatives, while explaining the inevitable outcome of current practices - the extinction of precious native wildlife species. This approach, while time-consuming, is the only hope for the long-term survival of each species.
