It is widely recognized that destruction of the eco-system with the counter-effect from the rapid industrialization threatens the life of human species. Furthermore, the extinction of some wild species keeps sending a warning message on the threat to human lives in the sense that both the human and wild lives have coexisted for a long time before the industrialization. Therefore, this study will shed a light on the importance of a natural ecology protection, focusing on wild-life conservation. This will provide an opportunity to consider the economic value of biodiversity through conservation of diverse wild lives and a natural ecology. Also, the irreversible damage to natural resources and extinction of certain species represent the urgency of this issue. This paper will perform a theoretical examination on the concept of wild plants and animals, an analysis of factors influencing their survivals, as well as the theory of natural ecology protections. This also examine the problems arising out of current domestic legislation of a natural ecology protection, comparing it with case studies of foreign countries. Through these analysis, this paper will seek for a maintenance of the currently enforcing natural ecology protection law to overcome its limits and will ultimately find alternatives to current system.
