One year--this is for you

Honey, 
I promised to write a paper to remember you who loved animals so much. The title: "Governing Wildlife Protection in China: Policy Challenges and Directions". Now the paper has been completed and I will submit it to a journal on January 31, 2016. I would very much like to post the whole paper here but I found no place for an attachment. So I post here the abstract and some excerpts.  I know you come here to read 
Abstract---"This study aims to develop a governing framework for wildlife protection in China. Based on the analyses of two cases--illegal trade and natural habitat preservation, the research finds urgent needs in legislation, collaboration, stakeholder engagement, capacity building, and consumer behavior education and management. The study proposes a holistic approach that emphasizes collaboration and network management to deal with the challenges, and points out the directions to further a policy debate that is largely ignored but critically important in China."
Introduction---"In this research, we propose a governing framework for wildlife policy making and implementation in China. The framework provides guidelines on institutional structures, roles, and relationships in policy development, implementation, and evaluation. It can serve as a strategic basis for institutional long term plans.....
The discourse of the human-animal relationship in religions and philosophy provides a context for wildlife policy debates. The Bible reveals righteous human living in harmony with nature as the good shepherd (Kay, 1989; Greeley, 1993). Teachings of ancient Chinese philosophy are also grounded in notion of harmonious survival between human beings and animals, that human beings are integrated with the living environment including animals to survive (Blakely, 2003; Cao, 2011).  Buddhism and Taoism call for a space in humans to allow transformation, which is essentially a sacred place for all living creatures (Lin, 2015).
Vegetarian practice by Buddhist temples is not only for nutrition reasons, but more importantly is meant to symbolize a dignified life that is part of the whole and completeness. Indeed, modern spiritual teaching takes this tradition further to suggest that living creatures are part of an only “us” (Tolle, 1999), extinction of a species is annihilation of part of the whole. Animal right movement in the West, somewhat but not completely affiliated with environmentalism, is the practical arm of this tradition.
Interestingly, the modern commercial view associated with industrialization has taken a completely different path in defining the role of wildlife. The idea of human growth is largely understood as economic growth and human institutional developments in the modern literature. Anything else is secondary in the face of human survivals and needs. Wildlife, as well as all other living beings such as lands or plants, are acknowledged to have needs only when human needs are fulfilled. Poaching and land grabbing are rationalized, and sometimes legitimized, in the name of human needs, sometimes even though human survivals are not threatened (Eliason, 1999; Lindsey et al., 2007).
In this view, humans and animals are separate, not whole, and their respective development creates conflicts, the growth of one takes resources from the other. Wildlife policy making and implementation in China today clearly reflects this struggle of conflicting views and interests. While efforts for human development are seen mainly as financial and economic achievement, the cost of such view has accumulated and been reflected in continual living environment deterioration, natural resource decline, and species extinction. It is in this context that the issue of wildlife protection in China is raised and debated, and the relevant policies are developed...."

Conclusion---"Increasing pressure for wildlife protection exists in China. However, there has been no effort to systematically review the challenges and identify policy issues and priorities for actions. This research proposes five key policy areas for directions of wildlife policy making and research. We present our ideas in a governing framework. Through examining the historical and latest evidence, with a focus on the literature and practices of natural habitat preservation and illegal trade, the study finds urgent needs and critical steps in legislation, stakeholder engagement, network governance and management, enforcement capacity building, and consumer behavior education and management. The proposed framework is a holistic approach to deal with the challenges. We suggest the directions of a policy that is largely ignored but critically important in the face of rapid species extinction and eco-diversity loss."
Baby---all is for you! All is well. Rest in peace
Yours always, Dahu
