China, as an important country of biodiversity conservation and environmental responsibility in the world, actively promotes the construction of ecological civilization and green development. China’s successful experience in biodiversity conservation and green development also needs to be promoted and publicized through international exchange and communication. Germany, as a leading country in environmental protection technologies and green development, has rich experience and advanced technologies, which are worthy of learning. In this context, the three parties have great potential and opportunities for cooperation in jointly promoting biodiversity conservation and green development in China and Europe. The three parties will sincerely cooperate in such areas in China and Europe and help achieve the sustainable development goals of the United Nations.

The fields of cooperation agreed by the three parties include: (1) building a China-German exchange platform for biodiversity and green development; (2) promoting China-German cooperation in biodiversity conservation and green development technologies and projects; (3) improving the level of international communication of biodiversity conservation and green development culture in China; and (4) promoting vocational education and training cooperation in the field of biodiversity protection and green development in China.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Cetaceans in the South China Sea: Chinese Scientists Describe Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs)

Image
The world’s ocean ecosystems are facing mounting threats—climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction due to human activities, to name a few. These pressures are particularly dangerous for marine mammals like cetaceans, whose survival hinges on healthy habitats and stable populations. Yet, in regions like the South China Sea, where biodiversity is exceptionally high, little research has been done to understand the needs and habitats of cetaceans. This lack of data has left a gap in our knowledge and made it challenging to establish targeted conservation strategies. Recognizing this, Chinese scientists have now set out to fill these gaps and contribute essential data to inform future policy and management, aiming to protect these vulnerable species and support the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). In a landmark study published on October 8, 2024, in Biological Conservation, Dr. Li Songhai and his team from the Institute of...
