On October 19, 2023, the Tobacco Control Working Group of the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) successfully held a symposium on the implementation effectiveness of “Standards for Indoor Air Quality”and its impact on tobacco control in Beijing.

 



Based on participating experts’ speeches, Mr. MA Yong, Deputy Secretary General of CBCGDF, clarified the follow-up work of the Tobacco Control Working Group in his concluding remarks:

 

First, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on the existing indicators in the "Indoor Air Quality Standards", collect the literature and materials on the impact of tobacco on the environment, and do a good job in collecting basic information.

 

Second, we should increase opportunities for dissemination and utilization in terms of publicity, practice, and other aspects, continue to promote the inclusion of smoking control related indicators in the "Indoor Air Quality Standards", and try to incorporate them into some application scenarios as much as possible so that they can play a greater role.

 

Third, to consider incorporating smoking control related work into the formulation of relevant group standards, promote the continuous improvement of tobacco control in indoor public places, and make preparations for the formulation of relevant national standards.

 

Fourth, we hope to continue to work together with experts and scholars from various professional fields to promote the Environmental protection and Tobacco Control, and continuously broaden our thinking and improve working methods.

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...
