Prof. DONG Suocheng, Chief Scientist of the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation(CBCGDF) Green Link International Cooperation Fund, Director of the Northeast Asia Sustainable Development Research Center of the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and President of the "Belt and Road" International Scientists Alliance, made a keynote report on "Desertification Control and Green Development Model and Practice in Northwest China and the Mongolian Plateau" at the 16th Conference of the Parties(COP16) to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification(UNCCD). Following the important instructions on "Ecological Protection and High-quality Development of the Yellow River Basin" and the eight actions of jointly building the "Belt and Road" to "promote green development" and "build an important ecological security barrier in northern my country", he proposed to build a green Great Wall in the Yellow River Basin and the Mongolian Plateau. It systematically summarizes the team's unremitting exploration of innovative models that combine desertification prevention and control with green development, and promote ecological protection and green high-quality development in typical areas of Northwest China, the Yellow River Basin, the Mongolian Plateau, and the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor for nearly 20 years, including the construction of green ecological cities in "six cities", four-layer circular economy, and large-scale tourism green low-carbon circular development models, and has been applied and practiced in many places, achieving huge comprehensive benefits.

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...
