Article Abstract:
A 1998 workshop of snake conservation held in Shanghai, China emphasized snake conservation and sustainable use. Approximately 1,000 tons of snakes are used as food in Shanghai each year, and another 200 tons are dried and ground into power by Shanghai manufacturers.

Officials will consider tightening licensing on trade and manufacturing.
