Wildlife Protection Law Promotion Campaign Report

In July 2016, China’s National People’s Congress passed a new revision of the Wildlife Protection Law, China’s primary piece of legislation relating to wildlife conservation, and enacted it on January 1, 2017. The revised law and the ivory ban solidified the country’s progress towards legal protection of wildlife. USAID Wildlife Asia's Wildlife Protection Law promotion campaign was implemented from May 2018 to July 2020 to increase people’s perception of the penalties and risks involved in violating the law's provisions, and it covered all four focal species.
