You don't have to look at bats and civets are not among them. So is there really none? Please read on.
In order to further implement the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Wild Animals (hereinafter referred to as the Wildlife Protection Law) and strengthen the protection and management of terrestrial wildlife resources other than wild animals under key national and local protection in China, according to Article 9 of the Wildlife Protection Law, that is, "the directory of terrestrial wild animals protected by the State that are beneficial or have important economic and scientific research value shall be formulated and published by the wildlife administrative department under the State Council", after research, In May 2000, an expert discussion meeting was held in Beijing and the "Directory of Terrestrial Wild Animals Protected by the State or of Important Economic and Scientific Research Value" (hereinafter referred to as the "Three Lists") was formulated, which was promulgated and implemented by Order No. 7 of the State Forestry Administration on August 1, 2000.
Civets are included in the mammalia mammalia
However, bats are not protected by wildlife. Why wasn't it included? Here's the good news.
Wang Ruihe, director of the Economic Law Office of the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, recently said that in order to resolutely implement the various arrangements of the party Central Committee on providing legal guarantees for winning the battle against the epidemic, the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress has deployed to start the revision of the Wildlife Protection Law, and plans to add the revision of the "Wildlife Protection Law" to the Standing Committee's legislative work plan this year, and speed up the revision process of the "Animal Epidemic Prevention Law" and other laws.
Most bats are not protected by the Wildlife Protection Law, and this year it is proposed to change, the current Wildlife Protection Law is mainly to protect rare and endangered wild animals, and a large number of wild animals are not within the scope of protection and management, including the vast majority of bats, rodents, crows and other high-risk species of epidemic transmission.
Do you understand? The current Wildlife Protection Law is mainly considered from the perspective of rare and endangered wild animals, and species at risk of epidemic transmission are not considered, that is, a large number of wild animals are not within the scope of protection and management, including the vast majority of bats, rodents, crows and other high-risk species of disease transmission.
So, will the wildlife protection law, which will be revised in 2020, include most of the species that bats and civets already have at high risk of disease transmission, such as rodents and crows, into the protection?
I think so, but how on earth?
Please wait and see.
