China has banned the import and export of endangered species of wild
fauna and flora.
The regulation, effective from September 1, is a move by the Chinese
government to regulate the trade, protect wild fauna and flora, and
comply with the Convention on International Trade on Endangered Species
of Wild Fauna and Flora.
According to the regulation, the import and export of endangered wild
animals and plants and their related products for commercial purposes is
banned. For special purposes such as scientific research, artificial
naturalization and propagation and cultural exchange, the import and
export of endangered wildlife must be approved by departments under the
state council in charge of the management of wild fauna and flora.
The regulation also forbids exports of unnamed and newly discovered wild
animals and plants of great value and their related products.
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna
and Flora is an international agreement. Its aim is precisely to ensure
that international trade does not menace the survival of wild animals and
plants.
