Dr. Zhou Jinfeng Appointed as the Guest Professor of Wenzhou-Kean University

 

In April, 2024, Dr. Zhou Jinfeng, Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) received a Letter of Appointment, for the appointment of three years as the Guest Professor of Wenzhou-Kean University.


Wenzhou-Kean University (WKU) is a province-state friendship project between the Zhejiang Province and New Jersey in the United States. It is a Chinese-American jointly established higher education institution with independent legal person status and limited liabilities. 


Wenzhou-Kean University is a shining example of the mutual cooperation between the United States and China in higher education. As a center for fostering cultural exchange between China and the United States, the mission of this university is based on two primary principles of access and excellence. Striving for excellence in building an international university with world-class education, WKU has been dedicated to the principle of “providing students with different ways of development.” 


The University introduces advanced educational resources from prestigious universities in the U.S. and uses original American textbooks. 100% of the curriculum are provided by Kean University and all the courses are taught in English. 100% of the faculty are recruited globally. The University offers small size classes and adopts an inquiry-based learning approach. China’s national conditions and culture education are embedded in teaching practices. The University aims to cultivate students with global vision, know-how of international rules and conventions, and innovative creative and initiative competences. "Start here, go anywhere." The University helps students realize their dreams and prepare them to be successful in the global arena.


Over the years, Dr. Zhou Jinfeng has been actively supporting the development of Wenzhou-Kean University, deepening the cooperation and exchanges in many fields, esp. in One Health & biodiversity conservation. 


Feeling greatly honored, Dr. Zhou Jinfeng will show his support as always. We look forward to Dr Zhou's leadership of the CBCGDF in contributing to its future development.

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
