However, at the background of urbanization, the current wild animal protection laws have been far away from the purpose of wild animals' protection.Actually, only protecting the wild animals is hardly to arrive at the protection purpose. It must consider the other creatures and environment groundings together. Therefore, to protect the wild animals we must stand on a whole view to study the laws about its' living environment. It is totally important and also the aim of this essay.First, this essay gives a necessary introduction to the background of its' subject. It points out that the urbanization in China is facing the serious problems of environment and resources; it is confined by the water, land and energy. At the same time the rapid development of urbanization has also brought enormous pressure on the environment and serious environmental pollution.
