China’s New Wildlife Trade Ban and Upcoming Law Amendment（修正案）

March 05, 2020 “Lisa” Ning Hua

The Coronavirus Outbreak in China, has been identified by the World Health Organization as a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” or “PHEIC.” Seventeen years after the horrific SARS outbreak, the coronavirus has once again shown a spotlight on the risks of consuming wildlife as food and encouraged public outcry to ban wild meat consumption in China.

This challenge is not unique to China. Epidemics, such as Ebola, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy or Mad Cow Disease, Avian Influenza, and SARS, all originate from wildlife.

To combat the outbreak, China announced a suspension on wildlife trade across the country in January and a crackdown (i.e., stricter enforcement) on illegal activities involving wildlife. The country’s top legislature also initiated a process for amending the current Wildlife Protection Law and announcing a decision this week to ban the trade of wildlife as food and tighten the crackdown on illegal wildlife trade.

While this is all very good news, it should be noted that the ban is not permanent and will automatically expire（失效）when the amendments to the Wildlife Protection Law become effective. Further, key details regarding ban enforcement have yet to be clarified to ensure it serves its purpose.

Answer 1

【答案】The outbreak of several serious epidemics has brought wildlife conservation back into the public eye. China has shown its determination to ban the consumption of wildlife as food and stricter law is on its way.

From my perspective, it’s urgent to protect wildlife. After all, the planet Earth exists not only for the benefit of humans, but also for various creatures. Every animal has its place in the biosphere, and we humans have no right to destroy it. By protecting wild animals and their habitats, we can maintain the natural balance of all life on Earth. What’s more, an increasing number of species are threatened with extinction largely due to violent killing for profits, which in turn endangers the living environment of humans, thus spelling disasters.

In conclusion, wildlife protection is critical to the reversal of biodiversity declines, and beneficial to human health as well. Not until we leave wildlife in peace can we smile in relief.
