Legal Regulation of Biodiversity Conservation and Genetic Resources of Flora and Fauna in the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China: Genesis and Current State

   The loss of biodiversity is a global environmental problem.

   In the context of sustainable development, the goal is to preserve land and sea ecosystems, which requires joint efforts at the interstate level.

   A special emphasis in the strategy, public policy, and legal regulation of biodiversity conservation in national jurisdictions is placed on defining the legal mechanism for the conservation, access, circulation, and protection of the genetic resources of animals and plants. A comparative analysis of the legal regulation of biodiversity conservation, including the genetic resources of fauna and flora, in the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China has made it possible to identify the legal peculiarities of regulation and the problems of biodiversity conservation. The authors propose directions for improving the legal regulation of this sphere of social relations, taking into account the experience of both countries, based on the model of legal regulation of biodiversity conservation, including the genetic resources of fauna and flora, proposed by the authors.
