Editor's note:
Blake is the China Representative for Wildaid, an environmental organization focused on
reducing demand for wildlife products. In his past 15 years living in China, he has witnessed the
changes of public attitudes and government policies about wildlife protection. In this interview, he
talks about wildlife consumption (消费) in China and the ongoing revision of China's Wildlife
Protection Law.
CGTN:How has COVID19 changed public attitudes towards wildlife consumption in
China?
Blake:Ever since the outbreak of COVID19 earlier this year, it's been something that I've
never seen on this scale before—the outpouring of public attention and discussion around
consumption of wildlife. Everybody was talking about ending wildlife consumption all over the
place. And we really need to revise our regulations and our relationships with nature and wildlife
consumption.
CGTN:What do you think of the criticism against China over wildlife consumption
following COVID19?
Blake: I think there's a lot of misunderstanding globally around the consumption of wildlife
in China. For one, wildlife consumption happens in every country. We all consume wildlife in one
form or another. So__it's__definitely__far__from__a__China__problem.But with the outbreak of this disease China acted incredibly fast to close down all sales of
wildlife. And China's working on updating its policies and regulations around this consumption.
And so that's really admirable.
But again, by China taking such strong action on this, it's not going to solve the problem
because it happens all over the world. We really need a global movement. We need to see these
live sales close down across the world.
CGTN: What are some of the challenges to wildlife protection in China?
Blake: A major challenge is that the industry around wildlife consumption is so vast and
varied. It involves tens of billions of dollars annually worth of production and consumption.
Millions of people's jobs and livelihoods are involved. And so it's a vast system. There's no easy
answer to really improving it in a quick way.
But I think that's one of the issues that need solving now in revising the wildlife protection
law and other regulations that I think we're going to see coming up soon.
CGTN: What will be some of the biggest changes to the WPL with the new revision?
Blake: The biggest change to the law on wildlife protection after these upcoming revisions
will be clarity on which species of wildlife can be consumed as food. Currently, there's a ban on
all of it right now until these regulations come out. But there will be a clarified list that states
which wildlife can be consumed as food.
1.What does the author really want to tell us by saying “So it's definitely far from a China
problem.”?
A.The wildlife protection really needs a global movement.
B.The wildlife consumption happens across the world now.
C.The criticism over China's wildlife consumption is wrong.
D.China's strong action can't solve the problem very well.
2.What does the underlined word “something” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Great attention to wildlife consumption.
B.The outbreak of COVID19 this year.
C.Much wildlife consumption in China.
D.China's Wildlife Protection Law.

A.The Effects of the COVID-19 on Wildlife Consumption
B.The Challenges to Wildlife Protection All Over the World
C.CGTN's Interview with the China Representative for WTO
D.China's Wildlife Protection Law: What Changes to Look Forward to?
