The third review of the draft revision of the Wildlife Protection Law was submitted to the Thirteenth National People's Congress Standing Committee for consideration at its thirty-eighth meeting on the 27th, to strengthen the prevention of invasive alien species.
The introduction of wildlife species from outside the country shall not be released or discarded illegally. If they are indeed released into the wild environment, they should comply with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations. If wildlife from outside the country is found and will cause harm to the ecosystem, the government and wildlife protection departments shall take safety control measures.
In addition, population control measures such as relocation protection, hunting and trapping should be taken for species whose populations clearly exceed the environmental capacity based on investigation and assessment.
Some departments and the public suggest that the use of wildlife exhibition activities should be regulated and managed, and the health status of wild animals should be guaranteed.
