Is the peacock a protected animal?

The green peacock is a first-class protected animal in the country. There are only 2 genera and 3 species of peacocks, among which the blue peacock has a wide range of distribution, mature artificial breeding technology, and is not close to the fragile and endangered critical value standard for species survival, so it is not a national protected animal. Green peacocks are distributed in Southeast Asia and other places. In China, they are only found in the west and south of Yunnan. The number of wild animals is rare. They are national first-class protected animals and can not be raised, bought, sold and transported privately.
