On the 14th, the Guangdong Provincial High People's Court announced the top ten influential cases in environmental resource trials. This batch of cases covers multiple aspects such as the protection of wildlife and plant resources, environmental pollution control, ecological restoration, carbon emission management, etc., involving severe crackdowns on illegal activities such as smuggling of precious animals, illegal dumping of sludge, falsification by testing institutions, and solid waste pollution. It reflects the full play of the judicial function of the Guangdong Court and the comprehensive judicial protection of the ecological environment, which has significant social impact and demonstration significance. Data shows that in the first half of 2025, 4832 environmental and resource cases were concluded by courts in the province. The ten major cases released this time each have typical significance. In the case of Zhuo smuggling precious animals, the People's Court severely punished the illegal act of smuggling endangered species in accordance with the law, demonstrating China's firm determination to fulfill international conventions and protect wildlife and plants; In an environmental pollution public interest litigation case of a certain environmental protection company, the people's court innovatively used expert opinions to solve the problem of determining ecological and environmental damage, and severely punished environmental pollution crimes; In the carbon emission administrative penalty case of a container company in Shenzhen, the people's court provided judicial support to promote the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality; In the case of a testing company and Luo providing false certification documents, the people's court effectively cracked down on the falsification of environmental monitoring data and maintained market order. It is reported that these cases not only have a strong deterrent effect on illegal activities in related fields, but also provide important reference examples for the trial of similar cases, promoting the correct and unified implementation of environmental and resource laws and regulations. In recent years, Guangdong courts have continuously strengthened their efforts in environmental and resource trials, actively explored innovative trial mechanisms, improved the professionalization level of environmental and resource trials, and created a high-quality trial team. By releasing the top ten cases, we aim to further unify the judicial judgment standards, leverage the exemplary and leading role of cases, guide the public to enhance their awareness of ecological protection, and promote the participation of the whole society in ecological environment protection.
