Legal Promotion and Improvement for the System of Compensation for Occupancy System under the Wetland Protection Law
Ecological function is an important criterion for measuring the benefits from wetlands,and the harmonization of its definition and indicators is conducive to the legal promotion of the compensation for occupancy system under the Wetland Protection Law.In China's legal system,the definition of"ecological function"is vague,the wide-ranged compensation standards of the compensation system,and the unclear management rules are not conducive to the legal implementation of the compensation system of the Wetland Protection Law.Combining the practices and theoretical discussions,the definition of"ecological function"of wetland can help the legal system of wetland compensation system.The concept of"ecological function"makes it clear that the main function of wetlands does not lie in production activities,but highlights the ecological value and role of wetlands.At the same time,the legal definition of"ecological function",the refinement of wetland compensation standards,and the strengthening of wetland occupancy control procedures and rules under the concept of"ecological function"can enhance the legal advancement of the wetland compensation system and safeguard the ecological function of wetlands and biodiversity.
