Abstract
In June 2020, legislation on the protection of wetlands was included in the 2020 legislative work plan of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China. After three deliberations by the National People’s Congress, the ‘Wetland Protection Law’ (WPL) was approved on 24 December 2021, and officially entered force on 1 June 2022. The WPL consists of seven chapters and sixty five articles, including but not limited to resource management, protection and utilisation for wetland resources, wetland restoration, supervision and inspection, and legal responsibilities. This article reviews this new law with a focus on its main institutional content and innovations.
