Recently, staff from the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) visited the Baiyangdian Wetland Natural Science Popularization Green Youth Base for study. The head of the base, Mr. Wang, introduced a series of work in wildlife rescue, natural science education, and especially milk carton recycling.   Since 2019, the Baiyangdian Wetland Natural Science Popularization Green Youth Base has been focusing on the exploration of recycling and reuse of paper-based composite packaging represented by milk cartons, promoting the large-scale recycling of such packaging materials, and unblocking recycling, transportation, reprocessing and other links to promote the recycling and reuse of recyclables.   In addition, in terms of wildlife rescue and natural science education, the Baiyangdian Wetland Natural Science Popularization Green Youth Base and the Baiyangdian Wetland Ecological Wildlife Protection Volunteer Team have also done a lot of fruitful work.

From October 14 to October 18, 2024, the World Food Forum 2024 Flagship event, hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), was held at the FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy. Miss. Xiao Yingjia, a youth representative of the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDFF), had previously drafted a youth declaration specifically for this forum and went to Rome to attend the meeting, sending the latest report from the scene.   The theme of this year's World Food Forum is "Enjoying Nutritious Food, Food Security for All, and Benefiting Future Generations", and the conference will focus on the nutritional balance, safety, sustainability and affordable quality food for everyone.   At 10:00 am on October 14, the youth-led World Food Youth Conference officially opened. During the opening ceremony, by interacting and sharing ideas with elites from all walks of life, young people and youth supporters from all over th

In February 2019, a tragic incident of wildlife poaching in Dalian, China, shocked the world. One hundred spotted seal pups were illegally captured by poachers driven by the demand for marine parks and animal exhibitions. By the time these pups were discovered, more than half had already died due to poor treatment, highlighting the devastating impact of the illegal wildlife trade (IWT) on coastal biodiversity. This incident underscores the severe threats facing spotted seals, including not only poaching but also climate change and the degradation of nearshore ecosystems. In response to these alarming threats, the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) launched several key initiatives aimed at protecting the spotted seal population and promoting marine biodiversity conservation. Central to these efforts was the establishment of five Community Conservation Areas (CCAs) in key locations such as Beidaihe, Dalian, Lushun, Yingkou, and Panjin. These CCAs ha

Recently, Dr. ZHOU  Jinfeng, Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBDGF) , invited H.E. Winnie Kiap, former Chair, Board of Governors, the Commonwealth, (Papua New Guinea)   and Academician  of the World Academy of Sustainable Development (WAOSD), to attend the 40th anniversary celebration of CBCDGF .   The China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation was established in 1985 to welcome the return of the endangered species Milu deer. 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the foundation, and a celebration is planned to be held in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

According to the Sichuan Wolong National Nature Reserve Administration, Chinese researchers have discovered a new species of orchid in a giant panda habitat in southwest China's Sichuan Province. The discovery was published in the latest issue of the international scientific journal PhytoKeys. Source:CMG The new species, named Gastrochilus balangshanensis by the researchers, was first discovered in March 2023 in the forests of Balang Mountain in the Giant Panda National Park. The research team concluded that it is a new species of the genus Gastrochilus in the family Orchidaceae after extensive observation, literature review, comparison with similar species and systematic molecular analysis.

Future aerial mobile vehicles, such as advanced drones and flying cars, hold great potential for energy conservation.   One aspect is in the area of transportation. Flying cars, if properly designed, could revolutionize urban commuting. They can potentially reduce traffic congestion on the ground. For example, in a city where traffic jams are common, flying cars could take a more direct route, avoiding the stop - and - go traffic that consumes a lot of energy. This would lead to less fuel consumption for individual vehicles. Advanced drones also play a role. In delivery services, drones can be more energy - efficient compared to traditional delivery trucks for small - sized packages. Drones can travel in a straight line to their destination, without the need to navigate through complex road networks. Furthermore, the development of new energy sources for these aerial mobile vehicles is also a factor. Electric - powered flying cars and drones can be charged using renewable energy source

Internet influencers, or "in - stars," have emerged as a powerful force in modern society and could play a significant role in guiding public environmental awareness.   These influencers have large followings, often in the millions, which gives them a broad platform to spread messages. For example, an influencer who is passionate about sustainable living can showcase their zero - waste lifestyle. They can demonstrate how they reduce plastic use, recycle effectively, and make eco - friendly choices in daily life. This visual and relatable content can inspire their followers to adopt similar practices.   Moreover, influencers can collaborate with environmental organizations. They can participate in campaigns to raise awareness about specific environmental issues such as deforestation or ocean pollution. By using their influence, they can encourage their fans to support these causes, whether it's through donations or signing petitions.   However, there are also challenges. S
