On April 22nd, the World Earth Day, volunteers from the Beauty Convention project of the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) carried out the cleaning activity themed "Cherishing the Earth, Harmonious Coexistence between Human and Nature" in Pari Grassland.

 


Pali Grassland is located at the junction of the northern and southern foothills of the Himalayas, at an altitude of 4,360 meters. Many tourists are attracted to come for sightseeing resulting in scattered plastic waste left.

 

Volunteers carefully carried out full-coverage, carpet-like cleaning of grass, river beaches, water banks and other areas without blind spots. a total of about 500kg of white garbage was removed.

 

The volunteers also organized the "Beauty Convention Environmental Protection Little Guardians" service team to educate and guide community children to pay attention to environmental protection. They use weekends to organize primary school students to clean up domestic garbage around the community and promote environmental protection to passing tourists.

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...
