Chinese original is the C1-verified text (each clause a byte-substring of the saved source file); an English gloss follows each clause. This article sets the licensing regime that governs captive breeding (人工繁育) of protected wildlife — the legal basis under which many exotic-pet species may only be bred with a permit.\n\n## Verbatim C1 claims (each a byte-substring of the source file)\n\n1. 中文原文：人工繁育国家重点保护野生动物实行许可制度。人工繁育国家重点保护野生动物的，应当经省、自治区、直辖市人民政府野生动物保护主管部门批准，取得人工繁育许可证，但国务院对批准机关另有规定的除外。\n   EN: Captive breeding of nationally key protected wildlife is subject to a licensing system: anyone breeding nationally key protected wildlife must be approved by the wildlife-protection authority of the provincial-level people's government and obtain a captive-breeding licence, except where the State Council provides otherwise.\n2. 中文原文：人工繁育有重要生态、科学、社会价值的陆生野生动物的，应当向县级人民政府野生动物保护主管部门备案。\n   EN: Captive breeding of terrestrial wildlife with important ecological, scientific and social value (三有 species) must be filed for the record with the county-level wildlife-protection authority.\n3. 中文原文：人工繁育野生动物应当使用人工繁育子代种源，建立物种系谱、繁育档案和个体数据。\n   EN: Captive breeding must use captive-bred (second-generation) founder stock, with pedigree records, breeding archives and individual data established.\n\nRelated: `cn_wildlife_3you_list_2023`, `cn_protected_wildlife_list_2021`, `cn_wildlife_law_art28_trade_ban`, `cn_wildlife_law_art40_art41_import_release`.\n","sources":["California Department of Fish and Wildlife — 'Living with Wildlife' — 中华人民共和国野生动物保护法（2022修订）第二十五条 (retrieved 2026-07-29)"],"source":{"authority":"California Department of Fish and Wildlife — 'Living with Wildlife'","title":"中华人民共和国野生动物保护法（2022修订）第二十五条","url":"https://amr.guizhou.gov.cn/zwgk/xxgkml/jcxxgk/zcfg/fl/202401/t20240129_83646032.html","retrieved":"2026-07-29","ref":"","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"Regional / state exotic pet legality law — 主席令第126号","verification_file":"pdf-raw/exotic-b4/cn_wildlife_protection_law_2022.txt"},"source_document":"Regional / state exotic pet legality law — 主席令第126号","source_file":"pdf-raw/exotic-b4/cn_wildlife_protection_law_2022.txt","tokens_estimated":437,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
