In recent years China has faced the daunting task of stopping the influx of wildlife contraband and protecting the threatened species within its national borders.
because China occupies a pivotal strategic position in the global fight for wildlife protection. With the global economic balance of power shifting eastward the rising purchasing power in East asia has made it a new destination for illegal ivory and other wildlife products.
China is also rich in biodiversity and is a top market for wildlife and its parts.
Effective enforcement of China's Law on the Protection of Wildlife and the nation's honoring its obligations under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species serve to protect Chinese indigenous species and those in other countries.
Governments in the rapidly modernizing East asia region are engaged also in finding a way to balance preservation of cultural traditions with the safeguarding of Earth's rarest creatures for future generations.
Additionally as the single biggest investor in Africa China bears special responsibility to that continent's people and wildlife.
As a vital force in the global alliance for wildlife protection China's growing commitment and efforts to combat illicit trafficking can save elephants and rhinos from extinction while inviting global commendation for its efforts.
