(Interview between the two sessions) Li Wei, Director of the CPPCC National Committee for Human Resources and Environment: It is urgent to eliminate the bad habits of overeating wild animals

　　China News Agency, Beijing, May 23 (Reporter Yang Chengchen) Li Wei, member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the Population, Resources and Environment Committee, interviewed by a reporter from China News Agency on the 22nd said that the phenomenon of excessive consumption of wild animals still exists in China, and it is urgent to eliminate this bad practice .

　　The bad habits of overeating wild animals once again caused social reflection due to the outbreak of the new coronary pneumonia. In mid-March, the epidemic situation was still severe and complex. The National People's Political Consultative Conference of the National People's Political Consultative Conference undertook an additional bi-weekly consultation meeting on "Removing the Habit of Overeating Wild Animals" to respond to concerns.

　　Li Wei introduced that at the meeting, 12 CPPCC members, experts and scholars made suggestions on propaganda and education, rule of law guarantee, department cooperation, and public participation. The committee members believe that due to the influence of traditional dietary habits and misunderstandings such as hunting novels, showing off wealth, nourishing, and related laws and regulations and law enforcement mechanisms are not perfect, the phenomenon of excessive consumption of wild animals still exists in the country, which not only destroys the ecological balance, but also easily causes public Health risks. Eliminating bad habits is basically a matter of changing ideology and concepts, from passive prohibition to conscious observance.

　　Subsequently, the CPPCC National Committee for Human Resources and Environment issued an initiative to the CPPCC members at all levels, calling for self-consciously to resist wild animal eating behaviors from now on, and to do more investigation and research and make suggestions on capital and political work.

　　In March 2018, Li Wei, then the director of the Development Research Center of the State Council, was elected as the director of the 13th CPPCC National Committee for Human Resources and Environmental Protection, and held two positions until the end of May 2019. The government policy research unit was transferred to the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. In the past year, what key tasks did Li Wei lead the Human Resources and Environmental Protection Commission?

　　He pointed out four aspects, namely focusing on major issues, undertaking two bi-weekly consultation seminars and remote consultation meetings; implementing the green development concept, carrying out special investigations on "eco-environmental protection issues in the construction of Sichuan-Tibet railway"; tracking key points Problems, consolidate the achievements of the construction of diversified consultation mechanisms; deepen and expand the form of consultation and discussion, and strengthen cooperation with relevant departments and local political consultative conferences.

　　Li Wei specifically mentioned that since 2010, the CPPCC National Committee for Human Resources and Environmental Protection has continued to track the protection of Qiandao Lake and Xin'an River water resources and promoted the implementation of the pilot trial of the Xin'an River Basin Ecological Compensation Mechanism, China's first inter-provincial ecological compensation mechanism.

　　Before the biweekly consultation forum on "Establishment of Ecological Compensation Mechanism" was held last year, Li Bin, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, led a team to conduct an oversight survey on the pilot situation in Anhui and Zhejiang provinces. CPPCC members and experts and scholars affirmed the construction of this mechanism. At the same time, they pointed out that ecological compensation involves a wide range of areas, complex interest relations, and there are problems in the work that the laws and regulations are not perfect and the compensation mechanism is not perfect.

　　Looking forward to work in 2020, Li Wei said in an article published on the official website of the National Committee of the CPPCC on the 20th that the Human Resources and Environmental Protection Commission will actively explore ways and methods to better play the role of the special consultative body of the CPPCC and the basic role of the special committee. Further improve the working mechanism of the special committee. (Finish)
