Community-Led Efforts to Save Migratory Spotted Seals in China Coastal Waters | CBCGDF CCAfa

Image
In February 2019, a tragic incident of wildlife poaching in Dalian, China, shocked the world. One hundred spotted seal pups were illegally captured by poachers driven by the demand for marine parks and animal exhibitions. By the time these pups were discovered, more than half had already died due to poor treatment, highlighting the devastating impact of the illegal wildlife trade (IWT) on coastal biodiversity. This incident underscores the severe threats facing spotted seals, including not only poaching but also climate change and the degradation of nearshore ecosystems. In response to these alarming threats, the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) launched several key initiatives aimed at protecting the spotted seal population and promoting marine biodiversity conservation. Central to these efforts was the establishment of five Community Conservation Areas (CCAs) in key locations such as Beidaihe, Dalian, Lushun, Yingkou, and Panjin. These CCAs ha
