Study On Some Problems In The Import And Export Of Wild Fauna And Flora Of China

Wild fauna and flora are important integrants of ecosystem. The international trade of them is one of the main reasons that cause species being endangered. It is of importance for protecting the resources of wild fauna and flora to enhance the administration for the international trade in them. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, China began to intensify the administration for imports and exports in wild fauna and flora. Especially after joining the Convection on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), the administration for imports and exports had developed towards being scientific and standard. However, there are still some aspects in the administration for imports and exports of wild fauna and flora need being improved steadily. The paper reviewed the international trade for wild fauna and flora and the trade management, and on this basis, the supervision and administration, examination and approval for import and export, and the management for alien species were studied.To raise the supervision and administration level is the important link to achieve the effective management for import and export of wild fauna and flora. In view of the problems in the supervision and management for import and export, such as the various and scattered ports, low supervision and management capacity of custom officers, and unlawful border trade for wild fauna and flora, we suggested the measures, including specifying the ports, labeling the exported wild fauna and flora, improving the cooperation between administrative departments for import and export and customs, and fight strongly against border smuggling activities, etc.The adscription of the right for examination and approval of trade species is not definite, and the examination and approval was too time-consuming. We put forward some suggestions to improve the legal system, and to regulate and consummate the administrative system by adopting technical measures should.The invasion of alien species had caused large loss in ecological environment, agriculture and forestry production in China. For preventing the invasion of hazardous alien species, we put forward suggestions in improving the legislation, regulation system, cooperation amongst related departments,public education and technical training.
