The red-eared turtle is an invasive alien species that seriously threatens China's native biodiversity and ecological balance. According to reports, Jiangmen Customs recently intercepted a batch of illegally imported red-eared turtles. This is a very important task that helps protect the local ecological environment and biodiversity.
Red-eared turtle is a common aquatic pet. They have strong reproductive ability and have a high adaptability and survivability. However, due to the lack of natural enemies and natural control mechanisms, they multiply and spread rapidly in some areas, posing a threat to the local ecological environment and biodiversity. Therefore, some countries and regions have banned the trade and breeding of red-eared turtles, including China.
Jiangmen Customs’ interception of the invasive red-eared turtle will help prevent these alien species from entering China and protect the local ecological environment and biodiversity. At the same time, the general public is also reminded not to purchase, raise or release alien species, and to jointly maintain the ecological environment and biodiversity.
