Legal Regulation of Invasive Alien Species from the Perspective of Ecological Safety

Abstract

The invasion of alien species has had a serious impact on China's ecological security, socio-economic development, and public health. Effectively preventing the invasion of alien species legally is a major challenge facing China. However, China still faces difficulties in the legal regulation of invasive species. This paper proposes the establishment of legislative objectives for ecological security, the creation of a catalog of alien species, the expansion of inspection and quarantine scope, and the optimization of risk assessment institutions by summarizing the experiences of relevant legal systems at home and abroad.
