Abstract: The value of China’s Class-I protected Saiga tatarica horn is not uniform in current judicial practice,  ranging from RMB 7 500 to RMB 80 000 for a single horn, resulting in a large gap in conviction and sentencing in different cases. The problem of different punishment for the same crime in the same type of cases across the country affects judicial fairness and justice. The main reasons are that regulations on the value assessment of wildlife products are relatively general, the value assessment methods are lagging behind, and there is insufficient attention to the value assessment of wildlife products such as Saiga tatarica horn. These issues deeply reflect the shortcomings of relying on administrative regulations in the application of criminal law. Since conviction and sentencing models for crimes against wildlife resources are based on the value, it is recommended that in the process of constructing a system of judicial rules for such crimes, full consideration should be given to the uniformity of administrative standards, and research on relevant legal policies related to wildlife product crimes should be strengthened. The supervision function of the procuratorial organs in ecological environment and resource protection should be fully utilized to promote the improvement of the value assessment method for wildlife products. At the same time, the examination of specialized issues in cases should be strengthened, and case-analogous thinking and Big Data technology should be actively used to unify the case handling standards.

Key words: crime of destroying wildlife resources, Saiga tatarica horn, value assessment, conviction and sentencing

摘要： 当前司法实践中对国家一级保护动物高鼻羚羊角的价值认定不统一，单根价值在0.75万元至8万元之间，导致不同案件定罪量刑差距较大，存在全国相同类型案件同罪不同罚问题，影响司法公平正义。主要原因在于，野生动物及其制品价值评估规定较笼统、价值认定方法滞后和对高鼻羚羊角等野生动物及其制品价值认定问题重视不足，深层次反映出刑法适用依赖行政规章的问题。基于破坏野生动物资源犯罪采用以价值为基准的定罪量刑模式，建议在该类犯罪司法规则的体系构建过程中，充分考虑行政标准的统一性，加强涉野生动物及其制品犯罪的法律政策研究，充分发挥检察机关生态环境与资源保护监督职能，推动完善野生动物及其制品价值评估方法，同时加强案件中专门性问题的审查，积极运用类案思维和大数据技术统一办案标准。
