CBCGDF Legal Working Group Suggest Pinduoduo to Remove Conophytum | CBCGDF Clean Internet For Conophytum

China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) has recently received consecutive reports from volunteers, reporting that the Pinduoduo e-commerce platform selling Conophytum is on the brink of complete extinction and is protected by international law. 

Due to the characteristics of cross-border rare species, Conophytum has been hyped up and highly sought after, becoming a target for illegal poachers to collect and sell at high prices on online platforms. These illegal pickings have led to a rapid decrease in Conophytum in South Africa, with some species even completely extinct.

 

To jointly build a community of life on Earth, improve biodiversity, and combat illegal trade in wildlife, CBCGDF launched Clean Internet for Conophytum action on March 9, 2023. The aim is to enhance scientific knowledge and public awareness of the endangered status of Conophytum, call on people not to purchase Conophytum, and call on online platforms to remove it. This activity has received praise and support from a large number of netizens, and multiple e-commerce platforms have actively responded by closing the Conophytum trading section.

 

Recently, volunteers discovered multiple businesses selling Conophytum in Pinduoduo. To protect the Earth of all living beings, combat illegal trade in wild plants, assist CITES in fulfilling its obligations, assist domestic and foreign law enforcement agencies in cracking down on illegal trade in wild animals and plants caused by the internet, and jointly build a community of life on Earth, CBCGDF urges Pinduoduo to take account suspension measures against users selling Conophytum, to reduce the risk of illegal theft of Conophytum and effectively fulfil its social responsibility to protect biodiversity.

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...
