On the morning of February 27, 2024, the "Peoples vs. Plastics" Project Working Group of the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) went to the Yellow River Dam in Zhengzhou to jointly carry out a public welfare activity protecting the Mother River with the local Minghui Construction Group's environmental protection volunteers.   More than 30 volunteers carried out garbage clean-up work in an orderly manner along the Yellow River Dam, picking up a total of 57.865 kilograms of plastic garbage on the river banks, woods and river beaches. The garbage was weighed and classified and detailed records were made. Through this activity we hope to raise public awareness of plastic waste pollution and environmental protection, making a contribution to protecting the ecological security of the Yellow River.   Original Chinese Article: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/7sD7wDZ39DDDACdPAL5KzA Translator: Sara Checked by: Daisy Editor: Sara

In the ongoing efforts to enhance biodiversity conservation and promote green development, emerging technologies play a pivotal role, offering innovative solutions that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven approaches. Two notable initiatives by the CBCGDF (China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation) exemplify the transformative power of technology in addressing key conservation challenges. The Yangtze River Basin in China has endured the scourge of illegal fishing, with one particularly troublesome and devastating method known as "electro-fishing." This method involves the use of electric shock to instantaneously kill or incapacitate all aquatic life in a given water area. The Anti-electrofishing Network, developed by CBCGDF volunteers, introduces a groundbreaking tool named "RiverEye" – an anti-poaching APP. This app empowers volunteers to capture photos, gather evidence, and identify fish species seamlessly. With just a click
