(Beijing) – The government is moving closer to strengthening its protection of China's wild animals, as the member of China's legislature says amendments to the wildlife protection law will be done in December.

Luo Shenglian, a deputy to the National People's Congress, said on March 11 that the legislature's Standing Committee has put the changes on this year's agenda. That committee runs the NPC between its full annual meetings every March.
