Prevention and control of the 2019-nCoV are underway, the people of China are united and overcome difficulties.

This severe epidemic reminds us that the risk of public health and safety caused by the trade and consumption of wild animals is huge, and we can no longer be indifferent to it. It has entered the fast lane of China's legislation to prohibit illegal wildlife trade, get rid of the bad habit of eating wild animals, and effectively protect people's health and safety.

Youth is the future of our country, the hope of our nation, and the new force to fighting the epidemic. Therefore, China Youth (magazine), together with China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF), China Environment News, Ecological Law Research Center of Beijing Forestry University, Environmental Resources Research and Service Center of China University of Political Science and Law, Owhat and other environmental protection units, jointly launched the “Refuse to eat wild animals and strive to be self-disciplined young people” Initiative.

This campaign will invite young idols to lead their fans, advocate that young people all over the country strengthen self-discipline, revere nature and life, refuse to eat wild animals, cheer for the fight against 2019-nCoV and cheer for China!

Initiative time: 2020.02.20--02.09
