In Wuhan people banned from eating wild animals for five years

Wuhan has made a bold and promising move: it has banned people from eating wild animals for five years.

The authorities have also introduced new restrictions on hunting and breeding wild animals. And it seems other provinces are trying to reduce the wildlife trade too.

Wuhan’s move is good for humans, if we want to avoid another pandemic. But it’s also good for (other) animals, many of whom are being pushed to the brink of extinction thanks to human actions.

The ban does come with some limits. But it’s a good start.
