How to Be a Responsible Traveler during the Spring Festival

 The Spring Festival is an important time for families to reunite. People choose to spend the short holiday in different ways, such as visiting relatives and friends, traveling and sightseeing. As the cultural tourism industry continues to innovate, it has become the choice of most people to use the Spring Festival holiday to travel around the mountains and rivers and enjoy themselves physically and mentally.

 


However, the concentrated travel of large-scale people, after the hustle and bustle, has also brought huge pressure on resources and the environment. In this process, it is very important to learn to be a responsible traveler.

 

Responsible travel is a travel method that pursues the synergy of three key issues: tourists should cause as little damage or negative impact on travel destinations as possible, and experience the original state of nature as closely as possible, try to adapt to the culture of the country you are visiting as much as possible.

 

Especially when visiting ecologically fragile and sensitive areas and around nature reserves, when facing national key protected cultural relics and animal and plant species, we must treat them with respect and protection, and not cause negative impacts or harm to them.

 

The Specific methods:

1. Try to use low-carbon travel methods

2. sustainable packaging

3. Understand local regulations and customs

4. Avoid activities involving exploitation

5. Choose local, seasonal food

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
