WWF Statement in support of China’s temporary ban on wild animal trade over suspected link to Coronavirus: We are deeply saddened by the loss of lives through the Coronavirus outbreak and our thoughts are with the families who have lost loved ones, or who are sick. The Chinese National Forest & Grassland Administration (NFGA) has recently deployed a series of epidemic prevention and control measures. And we welcome the announcement by the NFGA and relevant departments in China to implement a strict ban on all wildlife trade and check all wildlife breeding and utilization permits. China’s decision to place a temporary ban on all wild animal trade underscores the need for greater public awareness about not just any associated threats to human health posed by illegal or unregulated wildlife trade, but also its impact on wild populations and on global biodiversity.
