 In a historic moment, the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation, in collaboration with the Pu'er City Government, is set to host the "Beijing·Jingmai Pledge" cultural event in Beijing on October 28, 2023. The occasion marks the celebration of the successful inscription of the Old Tea Forests of Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er, Yunnan, into the UNESCO World Heritage List. Distinguished guests from various fields will witness this achievement and exchange on tea conservation and heritage protection.

The "Cultural Landscape of Old Tea Forests of Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er," the world's first tea-themed World Heritage Site, fills a significant gap in the realm of world heritage. This picturesque tea garden is located in the Pu'er region and is hailed as a treasure trove of tea culture. Situated at the junction of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou, Jingmai Mountain has been a vital hub for traditional Chinese tea production, earning it the title of "King of Tea." The tea gardens here have a rich history, with ancient tea trees that stand tall and sturdy, all nestled in a tranquil and natural environment. Jingmai Mountain not only represents China's outstanding contribution to tea culture but also showcases the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature in its tea garden ecosystem.

The significance of this cultural promotion event is multifaceted. Firstly, it aims to promote and preserve world heritage culture, ensuring the continuation of this valuable tea culture. This will introduce more people to and kindle their appreciation for Chinese tea culture, contributing to the preservation and innovation of China's traditional heritage. Secondly, the event is set to drive biodiversity conservation, as Jingmai Mountain's tea gardens serve as habitats for numerous rare plant and animal species. Through the promotion and protection of this world heritage site, it will raise awareness and appreciation for biodiversity conservation. Lastly, the event will stimulate sustainable livelihoods, with the tea industry being a cornerstone of Jingmai Mountain's economy. The successful hosting of this event will spur local economic development and improve the livelihoods of tea farmers and related industry professionals.

In conclusion, the "Beijing·Jingmai Pledge" cultural promotion event will be a grand celebration of the "Cultural Landscape of Old Tea Forests of Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er" as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This celebration not only upholds and honors the tea culture but also emphasizes the significance of biodiversity conservation and the promotion of sustainable livelihoods. It is an invaluable opportunity for tea culture enthusiasts and conservationists worldwide to explore the treasure of Chinese tea culture and recognize the importance of preserving natural ecosystems.
