“The Management Measures for Urban Parks” Should Avoid the Preventive Use of Pesticides | ZHOU Jinfeng Talks about the Fourth Civilization

Recently, relevant departments have been soliciting opinions on “the Management Measures for Urban Parks”. A key point is to control pesticides and that chemical insecticides should not be used before pest infestation occurs. The preventive use of chemical insecticides is not allowed, which is not only related to ecological health, but also to human health.

 


Urban parks are places for people to relax and exercise, and excessive use of pesticides may bring huge potential harm to the ecological environment of densely populated areas such as urban parks. Therefore, adding relevant content to “the Management Measures for Urban Parks” can help reduce the potential threat of pesticides to human health and ecosystems, and better protect the health rights and interests of urban residents.

 

In addition, reducing the use of pesticides will help promote biodiversity conservation in the neighborhood (BCON). At present, pesticide abuse occurs in a large number of landscaping work, which has a significant negative impact on the biodiversity of insects, the survival birds and other wildlife in the food chain.

 

“The Management Measures for Urban Parks” aims to manage and use pesticides more scientifically and rationally to protect people's health and the good state of the urban ecological environment. The above adjustment is expected to have a positive impact on the public and ecological protection.

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
