The demand for bear products is the greatest threat to all bears.
Traditional Asian medicine prescribes bear fat, gall, meat, paws, spinal
cord, blood, and bones for complaints ranging from baldness to rheumatism.
The trade in bear gall in particular is so highly
profitable that it has been likened to the heroin trade, as dried gall can
sell for 18 times the price of gold.
