About "OceanWetlands"(海洋与湿地) of CBCGDF Media


OceanWetlands (海洋与湿地) is a professional new media platform established by the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF), a national scientific society and leading conservation NGO. The media is operated by CBCGDF's Marine and Wetlands Working Group and stands as one of the professional platforms under the "CBCGDF Media" umbrella, which receives a readership of 30 million on daily basis.


Dedicated to reporting cutting-edge developments in oceans and wetlands, "OceanWetlands" offers probono support to academic discussions and serves global marine and wetland scientists as well as environmentalists. Its mission revolves around providing information and fostering collaboration, ultimately safeguarding marine biodiversity and advancing global cooperation.


With a commitment to delivering high-quality, forefront content, this specialized platform caters to readers, researchers, policymakers, and the general public in fields such as ocean, wetlands, biodiversity conservation， connectivity, ecological restoration, etc.


In terms of content, the platform consistently tracks the latest updates from major environmental conventions, intergovernmental organizations, and international bodies. This includes, but is not limited to, CBD, RAMSAR, CMS, CITES, UNFCCC, BRS, BBNJ, UNCLOS, UNEP/UNEA, ITPGRFA, IPCC, IPBES, ISA, IUCN, ISO, EBP, as well as the ongoing developments in negotiations for end plastic pollution treaty, DSI governance, and scientific  ethics governance, etc.


The CBCGDF OceanWetlands Group has always undertaken the dual mission of public welfare and popularization of science in its promotional work, and is committed to promoting biodiversity mainstreaming, integrating biodiversity issues into the public's daily life, scientific research, policy decision-making and international governance. It also actively builds bridges for Chinese youth and experts to participate in global environmental governance, and makes China's voice heard.


"OceanWetlands" warmly welcomes collaborations from around the globe.

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...
