Ban Wildlife Meat Consumption, Be the Self-disciplined Youth

Nationwide actions are taken to combat the COVID-19. It is widely presumed that the bat is the natural host of the novel coronavirus. Unreasonable wildlife consumption is bringing many more risks to human beings. The existing "wildlife industry" is big in the market, posing threats to public health security. It is high time for everyone to take instant actions. The legislation of banning illegal wildlife trade, kicking the habit of eating wild animals and securing public health has been promoted by the relevant authority.

Youth represents the future and hope of a nation as well as the main force of fighting the disease. China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development, China Youth, China Environment News, the Ecology Law Research Center at the Beijing Forestry University, the Center for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims at the China University of Political Science and Law, and Owhat invite representatives of the literary and art circles to co-initiate: “Ban Wildlife Meat Consumption, Be the Self-disciplined Youth Revere the nature and the life on earth. Let’s fight the COVID-19 together and pray for China!”
