Conophytum Were Sent in Pinduoduo Live Broadcast Room | Clean Internet for Conophytum

Recently, the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) received a letter from volunteers reporting that some merchants on the Pinduoduo e-commerce platform are selling conophytum from their production areas in their live broadcast rooms. The cultivation and maintenance of horticultural conophytum require time, therefore, driven by interests, poachers illegally harvest wild meat cones, leading to a sharp decrease in wild populations. Nowadays, all species of the Conophytum have entered Appendix III of the CITES Convention.









 
In March 2023, the Legal Work Committee of CBCGDF sent a letter to major e-commerce platforms requesting that the sale and promotion of related wild conophytum be taken down as soon as possible. However, there are still unscrupulous merchants who ignore legal regulations and continue to sell them. As an e-commerce platform, Pinduoduo should take the social responsibility of the enterprise. As consumers, we should also consciously identify and understand the species we want to purchase.


Clean Internet for Conophytum is a nature conservation initiative initiated by the CBCGDF . The initiative was launched on March 9, 2023 and has received support and participation from the public, nature conservationists, horticulturists, and businesses.

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...
