 Recently, Dr. ZHOU Jinfeng, secretary-general of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF), gave a lecture on "One Health and New Civilization-Health: Climate , Biodiversity Crisis". Recently, I did research in Wenzhou and found that the land there has been extensively developed. It is said that when Wenzhou city was built, there were white deer. Now due to the large increase in population and construction, deer are rarely seen. The changes in Wenzhou are actually a microcosm of the development and changes of the earth. There are now 8 billion people on the earth, and we live on it, which truly embodies the great achievements of industrial civilization, but in today's 'heyday of industrial civilization', this'greatness' is turning into huge destructive forces .

  China's first story film concerned with global warming, " Glacier Love, " was released nationwide on May 19, 2023, however, with a very poor film placement. “Glacier Love” is the first domestic environmental protection public welfare feature film concerned with global warming and glacier melting, interpreting a romantic love story, but it is not just a love story. Based on the love line of Huizi and Dorji, "Glacier Love" focuses on the environmental impact of global warming and calls on the whole society to pay attention to the melting of glaciers and the global warming phenomenon, hoping that we can establish a low-carbon and environmental protection concept of life. At a time when China is vigorously advocating green and low-carbon development, such an environmental public welfare film deserves more attention.   As a national level society, China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) has been paying close attention to the ...
