Abstract

The existence of COVID 19 again raises people’s awareness of endangered species trading problems and calls for rethinking the relationship between humanity and the natural environment. This paper mentions the current problems faced by China in protecting endangered species and states the urgent need for government to revise the currently endangered species protection law with respect to the problems figured out. To better find solutions to the problems, Wildlife Protection law can find some hints and inspirations from the Endangered Species Act in America, which is a reflection of government policies and attitudes in America towards the same problems. After a detailed analysis, we can see both strengths and weaknesses in American law in different areas, and the parts that the Chinese government can learn from to improve Chinese protection law.
