The list of National key protected Wildlife has been openly solicited for opinions. What are the specific animals? With a detailed list

Because of COVID-19 this year, wildlife protection has been put on the agenda again. A few days ago, Guo Jialing also openly solicited opinions with the grassland Bureau and the Ministry of Agriculture and Village on the "list of National key protected Wildlife"! What exactly are the wild animals? Let's take a look at the detailed list.

On the list of National key protected Wildlife

Explanation of (draft for soliciting opinions)

According to the relevant provisions of the Wildlife Protection Law of the people's Republic of China, the State Bureau of Forestry and grassland and the Ministry of Agriculture and villages (hereinafter referred to as the "two departments") organized and adjusted to form the "list of National key protected Wildlife (draft for soliciting opinions)" (hereinafter referred to as the "list"). The relevant situation is explained as follows.

I. basis for adjustment

Articles 7 and 10 of the Wildlife Protection Law stipulate that the competent departments of forestry, grassland and fishery under the State Council are respectively in charge of the protection of terrestrial and aquatic wildlife throughout the country. The state implements classified and graded protection of wild animals. The state gives priority to the protection of precious and endangered wild animals. The wildlife under special state protection is divided into first-class protected wild animals and second-class protected wild animals. The list of national key protected wildlife shall be formulated by the department in charge of wildlife protection under the State Council after organizing a scientific evaluation, and the list shall be adjusted according to the evaluation. The list of State key protected Wildlife shall be approved and promulgated by the State Council.

According to the changes of wild resources and the latest research results, timely adjustment and revision of the list will help to save precious and endangered wild animals, maintain biodiversity and ecological balance, and promote the construction of ecological civilization.

II. Adjustment process

Since the implementation of the newly revised Wildlife Protection Law on January 1, 2017, the two departments have accelerated the adjustment of the list. After the reform of the state administrative structure in September 2018, on the basis of the original work, the two departments studied the cross-management of sika deer and red deer in the list and the catalogue of genetic resources of livestock and poultry in China. In January 2019, relevant experts and scholars from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other scientific research institutes were organized to conduct scientific demonstration research, and the revised version of the list was formed. Subsequently, the two departments solicited the opinions of the people's governments of 31 provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities) and the relevant departments of the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps, and held special symposiums to listen to the opinions of relevant scientific research institutions, institutions of higher learning, and the industry, and other experts and scholars, constantly revised and improved, and formed a draft of the "directory" for soliciting opinions.

III. Principle of adjustment

(1) the principle of endangerment. Take the evaluation grade of Chinese vertebrates in the Chinese Vertebrate Red list and the classification and standard of the IUCN Red list as important references, including population structure, quantity and habitat area, range, quality and change rate and other factors. Focus on the "extremely endangered" species in danger of extinction in the field, the "endangered" species with narrow distribution and sparse wild populations, and the "vulnerable" species in which the number of wild populations decreases obviously or continuously, and their survival is seriously threatened. For example, Chinese crested tern, spoon-billed snipe and Yangtze finless porpoise are listed as extremely endangered species by the IUCN red species list, and all of them are considered to be upgraded or added to the national first-class protected species.

(2) the principle of treasure. It is important to consider that it plays an important role in maintaining the structure and function of the ecosystem, and at the same time, due to habitat destruction, hunting, trade and other development and utilization activities, the survival of species that are under great threat, such as raptors at the top of the food chain, plays a role in regulating the species population in the lower food chain, which is very important to maintain the function of the ecosystem. International trade behavior of raptors is common. Therefore, all species of raptors (55 species of Falconiformes, 12 species of Falconiformes and 32 species of owls) were included in the conservation list, among which the important species were listed as first-class protection. The northern copper fish in the Yellow River system is an important aquatic biological resource in China, which traditionally has high fishery economic value. Affected by the destruction of habitat, its natural population is extremely endangered. It is listed as first-class protection in this list.

(3) the principle of similarity. Although some species in the taxa such as flat-chested turtle family, land tortoise family, Chrysopodiaceae and Chrysopodiaceae do not fully meet the scientific standard of listing for protection, however, considering that it can not be effectively distinguished from the same family or genus species included in the list in the process of law enforcement and supervision, it is also included in the scope of protection in this list adjustment.

(4) precautionary principle. There is no definite evidence to prove that there are hot spot sensitive and endangered species with natural distribution in China, such as Malay pangolin and Indian pangolin, as well as wild horses, elk and high-nosed antelopes that have records of natural distribution in the wild in the history of China, taking into account that such as new scientific discoveries to determine the natural distribution of species in China and the re-establishment and restoration of wild species through ecological restoration measures. Therefore, this kind of species is included in the scope of protection.

(5) the principle of compatibility. For species such as Mangshan iron head snake, Angie salamander and whale shark, which are naturally distributed in China and have been listed in the appendix to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered species of Wild Fauna and Flora, overall consideration should be given to domestic protection and the management needs of international conventions. In this list adjustment, it will also be given key consideration according to the actual situation and protection needs.

(6) the principle of attention. Although the listed scientific standards are not fully met, the species that have aroused widespread social concern due to the continuous increase in the intensity of development and utilization or the loss of habitat are also actively considered in this adjustment; on the contrary, although they meet the included scientific criteria, however, social attention is extremely low, and once included may increase the risk of illegal hunting and trade, it will not be considered. For example, the yellow-breasted bunting occupies a large share in the bird trade. Due to the mispublicity of its medicinal efficacy, the wild bunting has been overhunted in the wild, resulting in a substantial decline in the number of wild populations, which has aroused widespread concern in the international community. This adjustment is considered to add it to the national first-class protection.

IV. Other circumstances that need to be explained

This list only lists wild animals that are naturally distributed within or with records of natural distribution and originated in China, excluding wild animals originating outside China.
