At its sixty eighth session, the United Nations General Assembly decided to proclaim March 3 as World Wildlife day to raise people's awareness of the world's wildlife.
The Convention on international trade in endangered species of Wild Fauna and flora was adopted on March 3, 1973. The Convention plays an important role in ensuring the survival of species from the threat of international trade. Previously, the 16th meeting of the parties to the Convention on international trade in endangered species of Wild Fauna and flora was held in Bangkok from March 3 to 4, 2013.

On February 24, the 16th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress voted and adopted the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on comprehensively banning the illegal wildlife trade, eliminating the bad habit of indiscriminately eating wild animals, and effectively ensuring the life, health and safety of the people.
The provision comprehensively prohibits the consumption of 'terrestrial wild animals with important ecological, scientific and social values' and other terrestrial wild animals protected by the state, including artificially bred and artificially raised terrestrial wild animals. In other words, Chinese people can no longer eat 'game', whether they come from the wild or in captivity.
No business, no harm! In this novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak, we finally made up our mind to make a far-reaching decision.
